[Installer] Upgrade the installer from WiX3 to WiX5 (#40877)
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Background: The current PowerToys installer is built using Wix3, which
has now been deprecated. To improve security, service quality, and
community support, we’re upgrading the installer to Wix5.
Implementation:
Created Wix5-based projects(PowerToysSetupVext and
PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext) within the installer while retaining
the existing Wix3 project. Both versions are built to generate separate
installation packages. The Wix3-related code will be removed after
successful release testing confirms no issues.
Special case:
Wix5 has removed the property for 'ShowFilesInUse'. Now, whenever a file
is in use during installation, a FilesInUse pop-upwill automatically
appear asking for the next step. To ensure this doesn't interfere with
scenarios that require silent installation (e.g. Winget method), we’ve
handled it using the bafunction approach.

Introduce shared sparse package identity for PowerToys (#42352)
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request adds support for building, installing, and managing a
shared sparse MSIX package to grant package identity to select Win32
components in PowerToys. It introduces a new `PackageIdentity` project,
updates the installer to handle the new MSIX package during
install/uninstall, and provides developer documentation for working with
the sparse package. Additionally, new dependencies and signing rules are
included to support these changes.
**Sparse Package Identity Support**
* Added new `PackageIdentity` project to the solution for building the
sparse MSIX package, and included it in solution/project build
configurations (`PowerToys.sln`).
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-ca837ce490070b91656ffffe31cbad8865ba9174e0f020231f77baf35ff3f811R29)

* Added developer documentation (`sparse-package.md`) and updated
documentation indexes to describe how to build, register, and consume
the sparse MSIX package.

**Installer Enhancements**
* Implemented new custom actions in the installer to install and
uninstall the `PowerToysSparse.msix` package, supporting both per-user
and machine-level scenarios (`CustomAction.cpp`, `CustomAction.def`,
`Product.wxs`).
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-a7680a20bf0315cff463a95588a100c99d2afc53030f6e947f1f1dcaca5eefd7R597-R806)

**Build and Dependency Updates**
* Added new NuGet package dependencies for Windows App SDK AI and
Runtime to support MSIX and sparse package features
(`Directory.Packages.props`).
* Updated signing pipeline to include the new `PowerToysSparse.msix`
artifact (`.pipelines/ESRPSigning_core.json`).
