msi: Create the custom action server as an elevated process.

Dragon Naturally Speaking 12.5 manually validates that the custom action server
is elevated.

One might imagine that the right approach here is to add a manifest to msiexec;
however, msiexec does not always trigger a UAC prompt on Windows.
