Summary: Allow custom version resolution from Binder

Initial Comment:
The Binder currently resolves the version information for a file using the 
MsiGetFileInfo. Adding the ability to retrieve the file version/language 
information from a BinderExtension or other mechanism would allow for 
situations in which file versioning is needed but is not natively available for 
that file type.

Unfortunately, the Windows Installer only recognizes versions for files
that come from MsiGetFileInfo().  If different version information is in
the File.Version column then the Windows Installer will assume the file on
the machine is wrong (too high/oo low) and behave incorrectly (depending on
how the version information is wrong).

If the Windows Installer ever allows us to extend File.Version column then
we get to do this.
