Summary: Create ConfigureIfExists attribute on WebAppPool

Initial Comment:
A ConfigureIfExists attribute should be added to the 
WebAppPool element.  This will be a Yes/No item which 
will allow the app pool to not be configured/created 
if it already exists.  

There is a similar attribute on the WebSite element.  

A scenario of when this would be useful is as follows:
    An existing install is creating a WebAppPool for 
use by a Web Application / Web Site that the install 
also creates.  The next version of the product comes 
along, and the upgrade now wants to support reusing 
the existing WebAppPool if it exists.  If it already 
exists, the upgrade should not change it or 
reconfigure it at all, because the end user may have 
customized settings on it that we should leave as is.
    Currently to support this scenario, one custom 
action will have to be run before the WebAppPool gets 
upgraded to save off all of the settings on it, and 
then another custom action will have to run after the 
WebAppPool to set all of the properties back to how 
they were before the upgrade.  This is a lot of work, 
where as the Wix Custom action already checks if the 
pool exists, and could simply skip recreating it in an 
upgrade if the ConfigureIfExists = "yes".
