Subject: [PATCH] Use pre-compiled PyInstaller

Historically we compiled PyInstaller ourselves as a custom compile seemed to trigger the "GAM is a virus!" issue less often. Now that we are signing GAM builds on Windows and Mac this should in theory be less of an issue and we can just use the pre-compiled PyInstaller from pip.
