Explicitly pass the WiX SDK directory when building the MSI. WiX
doesn't (yet?) have a directory for VS2019, so use the one for VS2017
which should be compatible.

This is a port of joyent/node@16bcd68dc5 .
Original commit message:
The original change that added support for running custom actions
during the install process
(joyent/node@e7c84f82c7) assumed that
Visual Studio 2013 is used to generate the installer file.
However, that is not always the case, and older versions of Visual
Studio should allow users to generate Windows installer files. This
change makes the custom actions visual studio project use the visual
studio version that is found by vcbuild.bat.

In theory the msi should broadcast a 'WM_SETTINGCHANGE' message to all
windows after modifying the PATH environment variable. This ensures that
the new PATH is visible to other processes without restarting windows
(although it's still necessary to close and reopen active console
windows).
Unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't always happen, for unknown reasons.
That's why this patch adds a custom action that unconditionally
broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message.
