Adds initial support for bespoke platform specific installers, DragNDrop and InnoSetup on MacOS and Windows respectively.
This moves gpt4all away from reliance on the IFW framework installers.

DragNDrop produces a dmg, that on mounting, provides the user an interface to drag the gpt4all app bundle
into the application directory.

InnoSetup provides a traditional Windows installation wizard.

To insepct these new behaviors, simply run the gpt4all build and package process as normal, and depending on your platform, either a DragNDorp DMG or InnoSetup exectauble will be produce.
On MacOS simply mount or double click the DMG, on Windows, execute or double click the installer.
