Ben Hillis c789e370b4 Update Microsoft.WSLg to 1.0.74.1 (#40570)
Picks up the fix for GUI app icons disappearing from the Start menu
on Azure Linux 3 system distros. The system distro upgrade in WSLg
1.0.72 brought in librsvg 2.58, which lazily spawns a rayon thread
pool the first time it has to render a complex SVG icon. Those
worker threads share fs_struct with weston's app-list enumeration
thread and break the subsequent setns(CLONE_NEWNS) into the user
distro's mount namespace, causing every app processed after the
first complex-icon one to fall off the Start menu.

Fixed in microsoft/weston-mirror#162.

Fixes microsoft/wslg#1444
Fixes #40538
