Improve install scope detection to prevent mixed user/machine installations (#43931)

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it

## Summary of the Pull Request
The old implementation checked
`HKLM\Software\Classes\powertoys\InstallScope` first. If this key
existed (even as a remnant from incomplete uninstall), it would
immediately return `PerMachine` without validating the actual
installation.

### Fix
- Uses Windows standard Uninstall registry (most reliable source of
truth)
- Identifies PowerToys Bundle by exact `BundleUpgradeCode` GUID match 
- MSI component entries (always in HKLM) are automatically ignored since
they don't have `BundleUpgradeCode`
- Checks HKCU first, then HKLM, properly handling the fact that Bundle
location reflects true install scope
