NSIS: Quote uninstaller path when executing it in a shell 

Protect our `$0` reference in the shell as `"$0"`.  Otherwise it works
with a space in the path only due to an insecure Windows feature.

Prior to this fix, any installer using the option added by commit
v2.8.9~234^2 (Added CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL,
2011-06-11) exposes a local privilege escalation vulnerability.

preferred future use is upper cased component names in variables.
New variables that will be added to CPackRPM in later versions
will only support upper cased component variable format.
* The CPack NSIS generator's configuration file template was fixed to
quote the path to the uninstaller tool used by the
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL` option.
This avoids depending on an insecure Windows feature to run an
uninstaller tool with a space in the path.
