Julia: Remove the extra 7zip compression and just use nsis directly for compression
Upgrading to the latest nsis installer and setting the compression to lzma in the config for the nsis installer I am able to produce a windows installer that is the same size as that achieved by the additional compression step through the post-processing 7z stage in the makefile.
In other words the stages for https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/Makefile#L467 are not needed.
What this means is that decompression occurs during the installation time.
Should I make a PR for this change?

This also means we can delete a whole bunch that extra junk required for the 7z stage and thus also resolve https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/30475
