Make the Tails Installer upstream tarball DFSG-free

Our release process for Tails Installer is complicated by the fact we repack the upstream tarball to remove the tools/ directory and in turn make it DFSG-free. I think the only reason why we’ve historically chosen to keep the Windows binaries in tools/* was: we might need them if we port the Installer to Windows (#8550 (closed)). But we have no such plan anymore, our plan is #15292 (closed) which does not require to do that. So we could now delete the tools/ directory from our master Git branch and simplify the release process doc.
