Rename "samples" segment to "tools"
This segment is a bit of a "miscellaneous section" in the WiX repo.
As such it has been difficult to name. I originally eschewed the
name "tools" because what is in the "wix" segment was once called
"tools". However, now that wix.exe is firmly established as the
entry point for WiX operations, I've become comfortable with its
segment being named "wix". That meant "tools" was again available
and "tools" better describes the content of this section.

| 36 | <h4>Example</h4> | ||
| 37 | <p>The most powerful use of WiFile.exe is to do a round-trip update of files in a | ||
| 38 | compressed MSI/MSM package. It works like this:<ol> | ||
| 39 | <li>Extract specific file(s) or all files from the package: | ||
| 40 | <tt>WiFile.exe package.msi /x *</tt></li> | ||
| 41 | <li>The files are now expanded into their directory structure. You can edit/update | ||
| 42 | the files however you like.</li> | ||
| 43 | <li>Update the package with the changed files: <tt>WiFile.exe package.msi /u *</tt> | ||
| 44 | This also updates the file metadata in the MSI including the file version, size, and hash.</li> | ||
| 45 | </ol></p> | ||
| 46 | <p><br/></p> | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | <h4>Notes</h4> | ||
| 49 | <ul> | ||
| 50 | <li><p>Also works with packages that have multiple and/or external cab(s).</p></li> | ||
