[wue] add automatic local account creation and regional settings duplication
* Local account is created with the same name as the current user along with an *empty* password
  (which we force the user to change on next logon). This is done to assuage users who might be
  weary of entering a password in a third party application, and has the benefit of enabling
  autologon when the install is complete.
* Note that the creation of a local account through an answer file prevents Windows 11 22H2
  from bugging users about MSA *even with an active network connection*.
* For convenience reasons, only duplication of the current username is enabled. We *may* add a
  dialog to enter any random username in a future version, but for 3.20, this is all you get.
* Likewise, the locale duplication is only carried out during OOBE and *not* WinPE (which means
  that you still get the initial "Windows setup language and user preferences" prompt). This is
  intentional as otherwise the default screen and "Repair Windows" options are not presented.
* It's not my fault that the Windows password change screen is super ill conceived, whereas it
  doesn't hide the current password field as it should when the current password is blank, and
  one needs to click on a very small arrow to get the changes applied, instead of a PROMINENT
  button that should intuitively have been positioned right next to "Cancel".
* If you want to complain that we should just "present the user with XYZ and be done with it",
  please bear in mind that we can't add new dialogs to Rufus as willy-nilly as you believe we
  can. *ANY* new UI interface requires major planning, which is the reason why, for the time
  being, we are limited to reusing a simple dissociated list of checkboxes for all WUE options.

Pete Batard 1f2b73dfac [vhd] fix an issue when extracting WIM with 7z
* 7z has a quirk in that one MUST specify the image index
  when a WIM has multiple images, but the same index MUST
  be omitted if there is only one.
* Because of this, Windows 7 Enterprise images reported a
  (nonfatal) extraction error when trying 7z.
* Closes #680
* Also fix a typo in registry.h

  available for anyone who wants to use it to compile Rufus, starting
  with this commit, I will NOT be supporting any other version of Visual
  Studio but 2015.
