JEP-343: jpackage Windows installer localization

[Alexey Semenyuk]

Sverre,

I've captured your input in [1]. Currently Windows installers are not 
localized. We just have sources structured to support localization.
This is a major effort to implement if multiple languages in msi 
installers generated by jpackage are required.
