Implements `WslcCanRun` using existing primitives. Updates the component flag names to help better describe their meaning and adds comments to further do so.
Also changes the error returned when we cannot create a `WSLASessionManager` and WSL is installed at a version below the minimum for WSLC support.

* Validate empty host path in VolumeMount::Parse
When parsing volume mount specs without a mode suffix (e.g. ':container'),
the host path validation was skipped, producing a VolumeMount with an empty
host path. This would propagate to MountWindowsFolder('') and produce a
confusing error.
Add validation after computing m_hostPath to reject empty host paths with
a clear error message in all cases.

WaitForMultipleObjects has a 64-handle limit. The accept thread uses
1 handle for the exit event, leaving room for 63 port mappings.
Reject new port mappings with ERROR_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES when the limit
is reached, rather than crashing the relay thread. Existing mappings
continue to work.

* Fix CVE-2026-26127: bump .NET runtime from 10.0.0 to 10.0.4 (#14421)
Addresses Dependabot alerts #10 and #11. The Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime
packages (win-x64 and win-arm64) at version 10.0.0 are vulnerable to a
denial of service via out-of-bounds read when decoding malformed Base64Url
input (CVSS 7.5 High). Bumped to 10.0.4 which includes the fix.

* Ship initrd.img in MSI using build-time generation via powershell script (#14424)
* Ship initrd.img in MSI using build-time generation via tar.exe
Replace the install-time CreateInitrd/RemoveInitrd custom actions with a
build-time step that generates initrd.img using the Windows built-in
tar.exe (libarchive/bsdtar) and ships it directly in the MSI.
The install-time approach had a race condition: wsl.exe could launch
before the CreateInitrd custom action completed, causing
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND for initrd.img.
Changes:
- Add CMake custom command to generate initrd.img via tar.exe --format=newc
- Add initrd.img as a regular file in the MSI tools component
- Remove CreateInitrd/RemoveInitrd custom actions from WiX, DllMain,
and wslinstall.def
- Remove CreateCpioInitrd helper and its tests (no longer needed)
- Update pipeline build targets to build initramfs instead of init
