Fix PE checksums in Windows release #6194

Description

@The-Compiler

I found out that adding a PE checksum to qutebrowser.exe, the number of false positives for v2.0.2 goes down from 31 to 7. Similarly v2.0.0 goes down to 6 from 29 and v2.0.1 goes down to 8 from 15.

An open source tool to update the checksum: https://gist.github.com/jay/d662cc9615f3e1ffc75e4ae9485da685
The binary: FixPEChecksum.exe.gz

Maybe this should be forwarded to Pyinstaller, as I think it would benefit more programs with the same issue. AFAIK Pyintaller
does not write a checksum to the executable (has value 0).
