Summary: add ARPNOMODIFY to examples/first/product.wxs

Initial Comment:
The package built from examples/first/product.wxs in
WiX 2.0.1629.0 cannot be uninstalled with Add/Remove
Programs on Windows NT 4, because its InstallUISequence
is not smart enough to detect that the package has
already been installed and display a maintenance
dialog.  Defining an ARPNOMODIFY property would correct
this and reduce confusion.

Setting ARPNOMODIFY serves a very specific purpose by
disabling the ability to enter maintenance mode from
Add/Remove Programs.  In general, we don't want to steer
users in the direction of doing this by default.  Although
Win NT 4 may cause some weird behavior without this setting,
since that OS is no longer a core platform, it doesn't seem
to justify changing the example.  If there was poor behavior
with Windows XP, that might justify a modification.
