Ben Hillis c13fe6488e Isolate plugins in an out-of-process COM host
WSL plugin DLLs are moved out of wslservice.exe into a separate
wslpluginhost.exe COM server so plugin code can no longer crash or
destabilize the service. Each plugin is activated in its own host
process (CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, SYSTEM-only via AppID) and reached
through a versioned COM interface defined in WslPluginHost.idl. All
hosts are tied to a service-owned job object and terminate when
wslservice exits. The plugin API is unchanged; existing plugins run
unmodified.

A crashing or disconnected host is classified by IsHostCrash
(RPC_E_DISCONNECTED, RPC_E_SERVER_DIED[_DNE], CO_E_OBJNOTCONNECTED,
RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE, RPC_S_CALL_FAILED[_DNE]); the service logs
it and continues instead of treating it as a fatal plugin error.
RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED is intentionally excluded as a transient busy
state rather than a dead host.

Plugin->service callbacks (MountFolder, ExecuteBinary, and the WSLC
session APIs) arrive on a different COM thread than the outbound hook,
so they cannot re-enter the lock held during the hook:
- VM path: LxssUserSessionImpl guards callbacks with a shared_mutex
  (shared for callbacks, exclusive in _VmTerminate after OnVmStopping
  drains in-flight callbacks before the utility VM is destroyed).
- WSLC path: PluginManager resolves sessions through its own
  reference map under a dedicated lock, and WSLCSessionManager
  releases its session lock before any plugin notification fires, so
  callbacks never re-enter the session lock. A session is registered
  in the reference map but not published until OnWslcSessionCreated
  succeeds, so a vetoed or race-lost session is never handed out.

Proxy/stub is consolidated into wslserviceproxystub.dll. One new exe,
no new DLLs.

Tests
- HostCrashIsolation: kills wslpluginhost.exe mid-OnVmStarted and
  verifies the service survives and m_initOnce stays sticky.
- ConcurrentCallbacks: four plugin threads hammer MountFolder and
  ExecuteBinary, exercising the shared callback lock.
- AsyncApiCallFromWorker: a plugin worker thread calls into the
  service post-hook (cross-apartment, non-COM-initialized).
- CallbacksDuringTerminationDoNotCrash: worker threads race
  _VmTerminate's exclusive lock and VM teardown, then wind down
  deterministically after OnVmStopping signals them and are joined on
  the next session start.
- Existing WSL1 plugin tests broadened alongside the refactor.
