Windows: fix MSI Start Menu folder upgrades

Use a stable VeraCrypt Start Menu folder for MSI installs instead of deriving it from the versioned product name. Refresh the shortcut component identities for the new folder location and add upgrade-time cleanup for old versioned VeraCrypt Start Menu folders while preserving folders that contain non-VeraCrypt content.

Fixes #1631.
