fix(win-msi): set installer scope to machine #29895

Problem:
The windows installer did not have the AllUsers property which leads to
the installer being misidentified as per user installer.
Currently the installer already requires administrative privileges and
installs into the system-wide ProgramFiles directory, but the start menu
entry and uninstaller registration are created only for the current user.
Issue: #29885

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/cpack_gen/wix.html#variable:CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE

Solution:
With setting CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE to "perMachine" the generated msi
installer includes the Property ALLUSERS=1.
Additionally the start menu entries and uninstaller registration will be
created for all users.
