[Packaging] Pinned Pyinstaller to v4.10 and readme update
Pin Pyinstaller to latest v4.x until issue of aborting upon missing typelibs for various unbuilt gst-modules can be properly investigated and resolved. Specific error for one of the modules being:

`36738 INFO: Loading module hook 'hook-gi.repository.Gst.py' from 'C:\\hostedtoolcache\\windows\\Python\\3.9.13\\x64\\lib\\site-packages\\PyInstaller\\hooks'...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 7, in <module>
gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-irepository-error-quark: Typelib file for namespace 'Gst', version '1.0' not found (0)
36870 ERROR: gi repository 'GIRepository 2.0' not found. Please make sure corresponding package is installed.

    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Gst not available`

Added `--no-index` to ensure pip doesn't install from Pypi

Instructions for building the Deluge NSIS Installer for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10/11.
== Dependencies ==
- Deluge build: https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/depends.html
- PyInstaller: https://pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/

1. Build and Install Deluge on Windows.
2. Run pyinstaller from the deluge\packaging\win directory:
`pyinstaller --clean delugewin.spec --distpath freeze`
The result is a PyInstaller version of Deluge in `packaging\win\freeze`.
3. Run the NSIS scripts:
`python setup_nsis.py`
64-bit python:
`makensis /Darch=x64 deluge-win-installer.nsi`

`makensis /Darch=x86 deluge-win-installer.nsi`
Note: If you don't specify arch defaults to trying x64
