Generate shortcut via .vbs

This adds MakeShortcut.vbs, which can produce a Windows shortcut with the installation's current absolute location.  This lets the shortcut remain functionality when a user copies it to other locations like their Desktop.  This .vbs file requires sc-trade-companion.ico on the same folder as the script.
