Shrink NSIS distribution size

Description

Our current packaging ships LIBs as well as DLLs after NSIS packaging. These needlessly bloat the size of the MantidPlot package.

The CMAKE documentation hints that it's possible to target specific items according to their type, but I've yet to get this working. Need to see if it's possible first.

Tester: NSIS package has shrunk from 60.5 to 59.5 KB. Installers should still work as expected.

The download page shows a much smaller difference between the 2.1.1 release and the current nightly build. However, the installer and kit work as normal.
