win32: Prevent VLC from registering as the default player for MIDI files

Vikram Kangotra requested to merge vikram-kangotra/vlc:fix-default-midi into master

This commit resolves an issue where the installation of VLC on Windows unintentionally designated it as the default application for MIDI files. Given that Windows supports MIDI playback natively through Windows Media Player and that VLC requires a SoundFont for proper MIDI playback, this change ensures that VLC does not disrupt the default MIDI file associations, maintaining the expected user experience.

Fixes: #27464 (closed)
