Add Windows Desktop Runtime support to dotnet-core-uninstall

[Copilot]

The tool was not detecting or uninstalling Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App runtimes, leaving them behind after cleanup operations.

Changes

Type System

• Added WindowsDesktopRuntime = 0x10 to BundleType enum
• Created WindowsDesktopRuntimeVersion class following existing runtime patterns

Detection

• Updated RegistryQuery.GetBundleVersion() to detect Windows Desktop Runtime before falling through to generic Runtime
• Matches display names: "Windows Desktop Runtime", "WindowsDesktop", "Dotnet Shared Framework for Windows Desktop"

CLI

• Added --windows-desktop-runtime option for list/remove/dry-run commands
• Updated architecture options (--x64, --x86, --arm64) to include Windows Desktop Runtime

Localization

• Added UI strings for list/uninstall descriptions

Tests

• Created WindowsDesktopRuntimeVersionTests with version parsing, equality, and comparison tests
• Added Windows Desktop Runtime detection tests to RegistryQueryTests

Usage

# List Windows Desktop Runtimes
dotnet-core-uninstall list --windows-desktop-runtime

# Remove all Windows Desktop Runtimes
dotnet-core-uninstall remove --all --windows-desktop-runtime --yes

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
