This is a vote on the Windows launcher native binaries. As the binary
artefacts are consumed by the IDE build, we need to release them
separately when they need updating.

The main purpose of this release is to ensure that all launchers
support the variables DEFAULT_USERDIR_ROOT, DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT, HOME
and BASEDIR in the configuration files. BASEDIR is introduced to point
to the base directory of the NetBeans or the application installation
directory.

Further the variables can now be used in all four major settings:
netbeans_default_userdir, netbeans_default_cachedir,
netbeans_default_options and netbeans_jdkhome.

The windows launcher was further enhanced to consider the environment
variables JAVA_HOME and PATH for locating the execution JDK.

Changes introduced via PR #8408.
