build: package haul.exe with an embedded icon

A plain `go build` links no icon resource, so Explorer and the Start menu
draw the generic executable glyph. Inno's SetupIconFile only skins
setup.exe, so the fix has to happen at build time: `fyne package` turns
cmd/haul/Icon.png into a .syso and links it in, and adds -H=windowsgui
itself.

Documents the installer build alongside it, since the two steps are only
useful together.

+### Packaging on Windows
+
+The `go build` command [above](#building-on-windows) produces a working
+`haul.exe`, but one with **no icon** — Explorer, the taskbar and the Start menu
+all draw the generic executable glyph. A Windows binary carries its icon as a
+linked resource, and the Go compiler has nothing to link unless you give it a
+`.syso`. `fyne package` builds one:
+
+```powershell
+go run fyne.io/tools/cmd/fyne@v1.7.2 package --target windows --src .\cmd\haul --release
+Move-Item .\cmd\haul\haul.exe .\bin\haul.exe
+```
+
+Or, from the MSYS2 shell with `make` installed, `make package-windows`.
+
+That converts `cmd/haul/Icon.png` to an icon resource, links it in, and adds
+`-H=windowsgui` itself — so unlike the manual build you don't pass any linker
+flags. It writes the binary *beside the source* as `cmd\haul\haul.exe`, hence
+the move: `Inno-compile.iss` expects it in `bin\`. As on macOS, `fyne package`
+rewrites `cmd/haul/FyneApp.toml` in place and bumps `Build`.
+
+#### The installer
+
+`Inno-compile.iss` wraps that binary in a setup program. Install [Inno
+Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php) (`winget install JRSoftware.InnoSetup`),
+then from the repo root:
+
+```powershell
+iscc Inno-compile.iss
+```
+
+That writes `Output\haul-0.1.0-setup-x64.exe`. Every `Source:` path in the
+script is relative to the script itself, so it compiles from any clone — but it
+packages whatever is in `bin\` at that moment, and does not build anything
+itself. Run the packaging step above first.
+
+It installs per-user into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Haul`, so it needs no
+administrator rights and prompts for no UAC elevation.
+
+The wizard offers two install types. **Standard** installs `haul.exe` alone.
+**Remote Desktop / virtual machine** adds every DLL from `bin\` as the optional
+`mesa` component — the software OpenGL renderer described
+[below](#running-over-remote-desktop-or-in-a-vm). That split is deliberate and
+worth keeping: those DLLs override the system OpenGL for anything in the same
+folder, so installing them by default would force software rendering on machines
+with a perfectly good GPU. Populate `bin\` with the Mesa DLLs only when you
+intend to build an installer that offers them.
+
+Note that `cmd\haul\Icon.ico` is used by Inno for `setup.exe`'s own icon. The
+icon inside `haul.exe` comes from `Icon.png` via `fyne package` — the two are
+separate, and dropping the packaging step leaves you with a nicely-iconed
+installer that installs an icon-less application.
