[ENH] New windows installer scripts

[ales-erjavec]

Issue

Improve windows installers.

Description of changes

There are now two installer flavors. One for standard python.org distribution and one for (Ana|Mini)conda distribution. They both create/install into a separate environment.

General improvements:

• Better (un)installer logging (log is left in $TEMP)
• Validate target directory
• Helper launchers to execute application attached to the console with max log level
• Helper launchers to open Command Prompt with activated env

Includes

• Code changes
• Tests
• Documentation

Example installers are being built on appveyor and can be downloaded from the individual job's artifacts page.

[ajdapretnar]

I can't get the artifact for the failing Miniconda installation. The other installer works nicely.

Nevermind, looks like there's a new push pending. :)

[ales-erjavec]

A fixed version is building right now.

[markotoplak]

If this is still relevant, could you also update scipy to 0.19 because of #2367?

[ales-erjavec]

If there existed freely available/redistributable scipy binary packages we would not be stuck in this mess in the first place [*].

Also scipy v0.16.1 is not affected by that only 0.17, and 0.18 are.

[*] It actually might be completely fine to use MKL now. Intel changed licence for MKL redistributables to Intel Simplified Software License which is a lot more friendly.

I had some issues with Anaconda already installed on my computer, but with a clean installation everything was smooth. I'm not sure my case is quite replicable (or drop by to test if required).

[ales-erjavec]

@ajdapretnar Should now be more resilient to older conda installs.
@markotoplak I cannot duplicate the error on win 8.1. But it should now correctly stop with the installation on an error.

[markotoplak]

@ales-erjavec I still get "Setup was completed successfully" even though the error is the same.
