i18n in the Windows installer was disabled in 2016 for Reasons and never
re-enabled.
There have been no complaints about lack of localization in the
intervening years, suggesting there isn't a huge demand for it either.
Let's remove the files because it was confusing at least one potential
contributor.

There are no clear indicators anyone is using the dtrace USDT probes.
ETW support is very intertwined with the dtrace infrastructure. It's not

Clarify the behavior of what Boxstarter may do when it runs on a box
to install all the necessary tools so that there are no surprises to
the end user when the script is run.
Currently there is no interface that warns the user that Boxstarter
will reboot the machine possibly multiple times depending on how many
dependencies need to be installed and doesn't mention a need to disable
UAC. For folks who see what may look like a reboot loop, we feel it is
necessary to make them aware that UAC will be disabled and they will
need to take action to re-enable UAC manually if they interfere/stop
the script from finishing.

To support Performance Counters on Windows, a number of
global `COUNTER_` methods were added that are undocumented
and really only intended to be used internally by Node.js.
Unfortunately, the perfctr support apparently hasn't even
worked for quite a while and no one has even complained.
This removes the perfctr support and replaces the global
functions with deprecated non-ops for now, with the intent
of removing those outright in the next major release cycle.
