Minor Upgrade Support for Chained MSI

Basic MSI project now supports minor upgrade for chained MSI packages during the installation, if the lower version of the chained .msi package is already installed on the target machine either with the previous version of the main installation or pre-exist on the target machine.

Note:This change was tracked in issue IOJ-1598900.

Validation of MSI

Added an option in settings.xml as given below to enforce the digital signature validation for MSI to ensure the integrity of the installer.

<DigitalSignature ValidateSetupAndMSISignatures="no"/>

If this option is enabled, the Setup.exe bootstrapper code allows the MSI installation only if MSI digital signature matches with the Setup.exe.

Note:This change was tracked in issue IOJ-2224914.
