How to build the native messaging host and its installer?

On Windows 10 + WSL:

Install and setup Golang on your Linux environment.
Install go-msi https://github.com/mh-cbon/go-msi via an MSI to your Windows environment.
Install WiX Toolset https://wixtoolset.org/releases/ to your Windows environment.
Set PATH to go-msi (ex. C:\Program Files\go-msi) and WiX Toolse (ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin).
Run make host. Then .exe files and a batch file to build MSI will be generated.
Double-click the generated webextensions\native-messaging-host\build_msi.bat on your Windows environment. Then two MSIs will be generated.
