// MozillaInstallHash returns the Mozilla install hash for the path given in
// installPath.
//
// installPath should be the path to the parent directory of the executable.
//
// A UTF-16 encoding of installPath is transformed to a byte array and passed
// to CityHash64 (version 1).
//
// Other than the UTF-16 encoding and byte array conversion, installPath is
// hashed as is, so must contain the correct path separators for the
// intended operating system, with any trailing path separator removed.
//
// It returns a string of the hash in uppercase hexadecimal format.
