[vlc] Wrong command path of VLC in registry

[Keith Kyzivat]

Looking at extras/package/win32/vlc.win32.nsi.in line 141 of
commit 7cdc5d03053dde6c160969936bb374b96a6250e6 (the last commit), I see the
reg key being written with the vlc exe wrapped in double quotes...

>   WriteRegStr HKCR "VLC$R0\shell\Play\command" "" '"$INSTDIR\vlc.exe"
> --started-from-file "%1"'

The last time this line was modified was back in april.

Is something interpreting the quotes and making them disappear?  Looks like
it needs to somehow be escaped.
