Use "Code Signing" for future releases #16

This will remove all the security warnings on windows when installing. And it will ensure that the warnings only shows, if someone tampered with the executable.

Right now if an evil person can download the .exe file, and add malware to it. When its forwarded to someone, their installation process might work exactly as it does now (unless antivirus catches the malware).

After code signing is enabled, the executable is "signed" which makes it easy to verify the integrity of the executable.

From v1.0.5 and above, all releases will be "code signed" (free of security errors on install/update)
