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.

Windows 11 has its new interface for its explorer context menu. It makes the old "Edit with Notepad++" command hardly accessible. This commit improves the accessibility and also fix issue of run as an administrator (Properties set in Compatibility) in the new context menu command.
It fixes also the context menu command issue under ARM64 architecture (fixed only under Windows 11).
The localization of "Edit with Notepad++" is also possible in this commit.
Note that if the command place of "Edit with Notepad++" context menu command is taken by other application ("\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\pintohome"), the new context menu "Edit with Notepad++" won't be installed. User should install it him/herself.

Fix for the /D= NSIS param regression (x64)
Detailed explanation is in the .onInit patch comments.
This regression has been caused by the previous PR: #11013 .
Fix#11072, close#11158
New "functionList" will be added beside of notepad++.exe or "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\", according the installation mode. If the portable package is used, after removing "doLocalConf.xml", the "functionList" folder should be copied manually from Notepad++ installed directory to "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\" to make function list work again.
All splited files are localized in this folder with the explicit language name.
"overrideMap.xml" is optional for overriding the default functionList parse rule files, and for adding UDL parse rule files.

1. Fix shell extension registration error (due to notepad++.exe has not
yet been copied)
2. Fix themes' absence after installation (one variable depends on
its initialization in mainSection)
While install a x64 version, it should remove x86 version if it exists (and vice versa).
The removal feature doesn't work though user answer Yes for the deletion.
This commit fixes this issue.

1. Folder "localization" is not removed even all the files are removed from
this folder.
2. Folder "pluging\APIs" is not removed even all the files are removed from
this folder.
3. Three files are not removed (contextMenu.xml, functionList.xml and
shortcuts.xml). There might be more files.
From "%appdata%\Notepad"
4. Bakcup folder (form %appdata%\Notepad++) is not removed if backup folder
is not empty.
5. Folder "themes" is not removed even all the files are removed.
6. Because of above two items, parent folder ("%appdata%\Notepad") is also
not removed.
7. Rephrase user message when user tries to install 64 bit while 32 is
already installed (vice versa).
