Mike Kaganski 1882827320 tdf#115405, tdf#119910: don't check if UCRT is already installed
There appears to be common situation that a system has *some* UCRT libraries
in System32, that were installed improperly (presumably by some applications
using simple copy).In these cases, our installer would detect the presence of
ucrtbase.dll, and not try to install UCRT on the system.

Unfortunately, it seems that oftentimes such improper UCRT installations miss
some parts of UCRT, which leads to LibreOffice failing to start with messages
like "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll is
missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
(the missing component varies).

This patch removes the check for UCRT presence. Installer will try to install
UCRT on applicable systems unconditionally. Since the proper outcomes in case
of already present UCRT are either WU_S_ALREADY_INSTALLED or WU_E_NOT_APPLICABLE
and both are treated as success in inst_msu action (see InstallMSU in
setup_native/source/win32/customactions/inst_msu/inst_msu.cxx), this should
only make this part more robust, and not bring new problems (yes, I know that
actually there will be new problems, as usual).

native install-set creation

This is where you will find your natively packaged builds after the
build has completed. On windows these would live in:

workdir/*/installation/LibreOffice_Dev/native/install/en-US/*.msi

for example (nothing like a few long directory names before breakfast).

Also generates ini files for the instdir/ tree (which are unfortunately
duplicated for now between instsetoo_native/CustomTarget_setup.mk and scp2).
