qga/vss-win32: Add VSS provider unregistration retry
This commit improves the QGA VSS provider installation flow by attempting to unregister the VSS provider if it's already
found during installation. This allows for a retry of installation even if a previous unregistration failed or was not performed.
This will prevent inconsistencies between QGA and QGA-VSS versions.
Before this commit, QGA can use QGA-VSS from the previous installation.
