Windows/MSI: Rework MSI installer.

The installer always upgraded the last version installed and did not allow for two versions to be installed side by side.

The reworked installer will allow side by side installs

install order:
```
2.81 -> 2.81a -> 2.82 : Allowed , will result in both 2.82 and 2.81a being installed
2.82 -> 2.81 -> 2.81a : Allowed , will result in both 2.82 and 2.81a being installed
2.82 -> 2.81a : Allowed , will result in both 2.82 and 2.81a being installed
2.82 -> 2.81a -> 2.81 : Not Allowed, 2.81 will only install if you manually remove 2.81a first.
```

Do note though that this will not apply to any previously issued installers and even for 2.80a this is not something we can fix.

This patch is for landing in 2.81 *only* and should be excluded from any possible 2.80a release.

Second change is a change to the compression level, building the MSI takes 30 minutes, which is crazy, perhaps worth it if the compression actually pays of.

```

It didn't, so I lowered it to medium, seemed reasonable.
