Create a custom process name for DS #2

Create a custom process name so that destsol.exe shows up as, well, destsol.exe, and not java.exe This can be done through launch4j

The Terasology custom .exe might be of some interest, as it doesn't relaunch as javaw (and probably other good things I forget)

For anyone looking into this ticket, the Terasology exe is created by the visual c++ project https://github.com/MovingBlocks/TerasologyJavaLauncher

Update after some Discord: if I gradlew distZipBundleJREs then run sol.exe I get the following process in my task manager on Windows 10

So it isn't quite "java" rather than "destsol" or "sol" but it is still pretty close ;-)

As per chat the name shows up in the desired way on Linux. I do get the proper icon/taskbar apperance, so that may be good enough.

Edit: Didn't notice at first, but unsure why I ended up with the 32-bit JRE running in this case, on a 64-bit system. Terasology has two exes while DS only has one, but I forgot the associated details.
