Create a way to run it on boot as service under Windows

See https://github.com/nostalgia-dev/nostalgia_chrome/blob/master/boot_as_service/nostalgia_chrome.service as an example how it's done on linux

It's just a matter of running a python command on startup, right? If so, as a first pass solution, we can instruct users to do the following:

On Windows:

Create a file nostalgia_chrome_startup.cmd with the following contents:

python <path-to-script>\<script-name>.py

and place the file in ~\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup where ~ (the user's home directory) is C:\Users\<Username>

---

• Of course, we can include the file in the repo and just tell them where to put it
  • Though we'd need to somehow populate the startup.cmd file with the right path to the python script, so maybe we'd be better off generating the file than including it in the repo
• We can also automate the process of copying the script into the startup folder, as it's not a write-protected folder

If we could use this action through a command-line tool called nostalgia, then it would have access to the Python runtime, and its path, so I think we could fill in the file and place it automatically.

I think the part of... how to ensure it is running might be an interesting one. But maybe not the most important - it seems stable now so it shouldn't crash.
