Enable start menu shortcut creation for apps on Win10

Project Member Reported by calamity@chromium.org, May 2 2017 
Start menu shortcut creation was disabled on Windows 8, because shortcuts didn't work properly with the new start screen, which was carried onto Windows 10.

Now that the start menu shortcuts seem to work again as per-usual, the Create Shortcuts dialog should have the start menu as an option again.

commit 15c2e6536d2afc4cbc47204f13fd61c884cd57aa

[Win10] Allow users to create start menu App shortcuts from chrome://apps.

This CL re-enables the ability to create start menu shortcuts from the
create shortcut view in chrome://apps which was disabled in Win8+
because Win8 shortcut creation doesn't work properly. Since things work
again in Win10, just exclude Win8.
