Add Microsoft.Windows/FeatureOnDemandList resource

[SteveL-MSFT]

PR Summary

Add Microsoft.Windows/FeatureOnDemandList resource supporting get, set, and export operations

• name is required for get and set and must be exact case-insensitive match
• export supports wildcard filtering for name, displayName and description
• When using export, only the name and state are returned since retrieving all of the properties is extremely slow, however, if any property is used as a filter then those properties must be retrieved and will be much slower to filter

Pull request overview

Adds a new Windows DSC resource (Microsoft.Windows/FeatureOnDemandList) to the dism_dsc resource host, alongside refactors to share DISM state/wildcard filtering utilities and to speed up export operations by avoiding expensive per-item info calls unless needed.

Changes:

• Add Microsoft.Windows/FeatureOnDemandList resource with get/set/export backed by DISM capability APIs.
• Refactor shared DISM state + wildcard filtering into a new util module and update OptionalFeature export to return basic (name/state) results by default.
• Update resource manifests, localization strings, and add Pester tests for the new capability resource.

• DismFeatureInfo is also packed(4), but it contains pointer fields (*const u16). With 4-byte packing on 64-bit, the offsets/stride are very likely different from the actual DISM struct layout, so reading fields like display_name/description can be invalid. Use the correct #[repr(C)] layout (and avoid packing unless the header explicitly requires it).

#[repr(C, packed(4))]
struct DismFeatureInfo {
    feature_name: *const u16,
    state: i32,
    display_name: *const u16,
