Added the ability to set the 'shortcutPrompt' parameter, which activates the CLI command '--win-shortcut-prompt' in jpackage. A new dialog (shortcut prompt dialog) has been introduced to the UI sequence of Windows installers, featuring checkbox controls that allow users to choose which shortcuts the installer should create.

New CLI option "--win-shortcut-prompt" will control contents of shortcut prompt dialog.
Specification
Add "--win-shortcut-prompt" CLI option. If the option is set, "Shortcut prompt" dialog will be a part of UI installation sequence.
"Shortcut prompt" dialog will have at most two checkbox controls. No other controls must be placed on this dialog.
Checkbox control labeled "Create desktop shortcuts" will be added to the dialog if "--win-shortcut" CLI option is specified.
Checkbox control labeled "Create start menu shortcuts" will be added to the dialog if "--win-menu" CLI option is specified.
If none of "--win-shortcut" or "--win-menu" CLI options are specified, then the dialog will not be a part of installation UI sequence and "--win-shortcut-prompt" CLI option will be silently ignored by jpackage.

Fixes CMP-1974
Fixes JDK-8261536
