cmd/release: notify explorer of PATH update after install on Win
Windows installer will not broadcast WM_SETTINGCHANGE when a reboot is
pending. This message is required for explorer.exe to reload the PATH
from the registry so future cmd.exe processes will launch with go/bin in
the PATH.
Use the Wix extension to always broadcast this message after install.
