isoimagewriter and manifest files

[Jonathan Riddell]

Oooh ooh I think I got it
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/isoimagewriter/commit/f6cafd4b1f034da520b9bd28c3a1a5e1169af956
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS    "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} /MANIFEST:NO")

Could someone test the built package on
https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/KDE%20ISO%20Image%20Writer_Nightly_win64/
You'll need to download an ISO and have a USB disk.  It works for me.

e.g. http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/current/dsl-4.4.10.iso
