A IRC user was asking about the meaning of `my.username` and noted that
information is scattered over places. This patch tries to make the
documentation more friendly for newcomers which are unfamiliar with
Gerrit (and maybe OpenID?).
The login page already recommends Launchpad, so no need to write it
here.

Add win-setup.ps1, which duplicates the following tasks performed by
config.nmake + Makefile.nmake + win-setup.sh:
- Create the windows library directory.
- Download files.
- Download and unpack zip files.
- Check and set current-tag.txt
Don't verify applications or libraries. CMakeLists.txt does that.
Update the Developer's Guide.
Have POWERSHELL_COMMAND use dot sourcing instead of "-File", which
appears to be a synonym for "-IgnoreTheExitStatusReturnedByThisScript".
This removes our dependencies on unzip and wget and reduces our dependency
on bash.

Originally suggested by Bill Meier for the MQTT protocol[1], but the
Websocket protocol can also benefit from this. Since
DESEGMENT_ONE_MORE_SEGMENT is a valid packet length, use the zero length
instead as an indicator that the length is not yet known.
Updated documentation too and remove the function documentation from
packet-tcp.c since it is duplicated in packet-tcp.h.
A noteworthy WSDG change is that the get_pdu_len parameter of
tcp_dissect_pdus gained another void pointer since
v1.99.2rc0-890-gceb8d95 ("Lua: Expose tcp_dissect_pdus() to Lua").

Our Windows portable packaging environment has a lot of cruft which is
no longer relevant. We removed support for U3 packages and the method
we use to generate PortableApps packages has been deprecated for a while.
Create PortableApps packages using current file formats (AppInfo v3.0)
and tools. Generate the PA launcher using the PortableApps.com Launcher
generator. Copy files and directories from the top level instead of using
a manifest derived from the NSIS installer.
The manifest is a good idea, but we should create a central manifest
and use that to generate the NSIS and PortableApps packages instead of
trying to parse wireshark.nsi.
The new package still needs a bit of work but it installs and runs in
the current version of the PA Platform.
Remove the define for MAKENSIS_UNICODE. It doesn't look like we were
using it.
Start tearing down makefiles and scripts that we no longer use.

If you choose to install from the Intertubes, you probably want to
choose a nearby mirror site, rather than downloading from halfway across
the world; the list of download sites in setup*.exe's UI gives no
indication of where the mirror sites are, so you could end up picking
one to which you have a slow Internet path. Tell the user about the
list of mirror sites on the Cygwin Web site, as that list *does* give
geographical locations.
