[CMake] NSIS Start Menu Directory

[James Bigler]

According to this page I can set all sorts of variables the affect the
MUI macros, but I have to define them before they are included.
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Modern%20UI%202/Readme.html

I think I can define things using this:
    set(CPACK_NSIS_DEFINES "  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER
\\\"Vendor\\\\Project\\\"")

This seemed to do what I wanted, but perhaps it would be useful to
have a convenience CPACK_NSIS variable for this.
