Add Windows Server Backup collector

PowerShell script for servers using Windows Server Backup, run hourly as
a SYSTEM scheduled task under Windows PowerShell 5.1. Each server is one
dashboard job.

- Backup jobs from Get-WBJob (in progress and -Previous) within the
  lookback window; restores are ignored. WSB jobs have no ID, so runs
  are keyed on start time, which also merges a Running report with the
  finished one
- Error HRESULT -> failed; detailed error or a failed item -> warning;
  messages include the error description, codes as 0x8XXXXXXX, failed
  items and the failure log path
- Next run from Get-WBSummary's NextBackupTime
- Get-WsbCollectorDiagnostics.ps1 dumps the cmdlets' real objects and
  recent Microsoft-Windows-Backup events (to check whether job times
  are local or UTC); installer adapted from the MARS one

Not yet run against a real server.
