[Feature] Create schedule task script

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Problems When stash-win.exe is running, it creates a DOS window that continues to be displayed, instead of running in the background. When I reboot my machine, I have to remember to startup stash-win.exe.

Solution Add a script to the .stash folder that will create a schedule task.

I've created a generic script which can perform this task. Here's the batch script:

set XML_File=CreateScheduleTaskForStash.xml
if exist %XML_File% del /Q %XML_File%

echo ^<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?^>>> %XML_File%

schtasks /Create /XML %XML_File% /TN "Stash_Run"
schtasks /run /TN "Stash_Run"

As long as this script is executed in the same directory which stash-win.exe is in, it will create an XML file having the correct fully qualified path for the executable. The scheduled task will execute stash-win.exe on an hourly basis if stash-win.exe is not already running, and it will run it in the background. No DOS window displayed.
