Summary:                    CPack WIX generator should set top feature to be
mandatory
Description: 
The top-level feature that the WIX generator creates, ProductFeature, should be
mandatory, and should therefore have attribute Absent="disallow". Otherwise, the
user can deselect it, which will also deselect all features below it - including
any CPack components that were set to REQUIRED. Besides, it makes no sense to
allow the user to install nothing.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Run the attached CMakeLists.txt through cmake, then cpack. The resulting .msi
will correctly not allow the user to deselect required component 'comp1', but
they can still deselect everything by deselecting 'Product'.
