This PR changes the default pp unpack directory under Windows to be in the user's %LOCALAPPDATA% directory, following discussions in and around https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=132811#txn-1902197
The system could alternately unpack under
%LOCALAPPDATA%/Programs. This seems to be where some other programs are installed locally (Python and MS VS Code in my case) so might be easier to find.I also wonder if the top directory could include the exe name to make it easier to identify, e.g. for later removal.
