Win: Add launcher to hide the console window flash
This patch fixes a long-standing complaint from users: the console window shortly flashing when they start blender. This is done by adding a new executable called blender-launcher.exe which starts blender.exe while hiding the console. Any command line parameters given to blender-launcher will be passed on to blender.exe so it'll be a drop in replacement. Starting blender.exe on its own will still function as a proper console app so no changes required here for users that use blender for batch processing. Notable changes: Registering blender (-R switch) will now register blender-launcher as the preferred executable. This patch updates the installer and updates the shortcuts to start blender-launcher.exe rather than blender.exe Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D11094 Reviewed by: brecht, harley
