When Notepad++ installer with the '/S' optional param is used while a previously installed Notepad++ instance is running, it does not update the locked main 'notepad++.exe' binary, but the installer still reports success (exit code == 0, regkeys actualized according to the installer version used...).
Moreover - because the installation/upgrade then looks like it is done, some automatic update services like winget cannot be used until a next N++ version is released (winget erroneously reports that the current version is already installed...).
The fix consist to set error code and quit installer, when installer in silent mode, and there's an instance of Notepad++ open.

New specs of NPPM_GETNBSESSIONFILES (which is retro-compatible):
======================
NPPM_GETNBSESSIONFILES
Retrieves the number of files to load in the session sessionFileName. sessionFileName should be a full path name of an xml file.
Parameters:
wParam [out]
BOOL* isValidXML, if this pointer is null, then this parameter will be ignored. TRUE if XML is valid, otherwise FALSE.
lParam [in]
const TCHAR * sessionFileName
Return value:
Returns 0 if sessionFileName is an empty string/NULL, or XML session file is corrupted/invalid, else the number of files.
======================
Other minor improvements:
- checking also for a possible ShellExecute errors
- removing the isAllSuccessful boolean, as it is no longer needed.

Following the commit: 4248c2ae22
If the user enables the option "Remember inaccessible files from past session" (disabled by default), and an opened session (the default session "session.xml" or a user session) contains one or several inaccessible files, a message dialog will appear, giving the user the choice to open or not open the placeholders. If the user chooses to open them, empty and read-only documents will be opened as placeholders for these inaccessible files.
Fix#12079, fix#12744, fix#13696, close#14252
Add the ability of "placrholders" (the empty document) for the inaccessible files of past session.
The inaccessible files from the current (default) session (i.e., session.xml) will not be lost in the next startup of Notepad++.
Furthermore, if file status detection is enabled in Notepad++ (default setting: ON), and the previously inaccessible files become accessible again (e.g., USB drive is inserted or network drive is remounted), the resurrected files can be reloaded on-the-fly without restarting Notepad++. The user will be prompted to reload if the placeholder is switched in.

Fix#13991, fix#14062, close#14173
It will allow for the Notepad++ to be a "restartable app", like some other SW can do today (eg Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or all the Microsoft UWP apps).
This is to create a seamless experience wherein, if you have to reboot your PC, you can now pick back up from where you left off and resume being productive.
The OS app-restart feature needs at least Windows 10 (20H1) and the user has to switch on the "Restart apps" in the system Settings (subsection Accounts > Sign-in options).
Implemented as per previous discussion: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/12541#issuecomment-1332662024
To disable this feature, add "noRestartAutomatically.xml" into "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\" or Notepad++ installation directory.
