Bug description:  PHP Installer needs to support side by side installlation

Description:
------------
In order to support side-by-side installation of PHP 5.2 and 5.3 by 
Microsoft Web Platform Installer, PHP installer needs to support side by
side setup. To get to a version specific installation, I think following
changes will be required

a. Currently, PHP is installed to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\PHP or
%PROGRAMFILES%\PHP. This should change to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\PHP\<version>
or %PROGRAMFILES%\PHP\<version>

b. Currently PHP sets the following registry keys: 
   i.	HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PHP on 64-bit systems.
   ii.	HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP on 32-bit systemsc.
Change the registry keys to: 
   i.	HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PHP\<version> on 64-bit systems.
   ii.	HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP on 32-bit systems\<version>d. Set an environment
variable called PHPLOC with the path to the latest installed PHP 

c. When IIS-FastCGI install is selected, installer should let users add
the PHP handler at site or application level as well so that a particular
PHP version can be used for that site or application. Currently the handler
is always added at the server level.
