Enable Long Path Support (Windows only)

Depending on the number of parent folders for the root path of your Intent Application, it can be quite easy to hit Windows' maximum file path length limitation, this can cause various problems to manifest, such as:

• Errors when extracting/compressing files into / out from .zip files.
• Errors checking files in or out of source control management (such as Git).

As of Windows 10 1607 it is possible to disable this limitation for all applications.
