Copilot 63da56fae0 Remove WiX v3 infrastructure and migrate exclusively to WiX v5 (#41975)
## Summary:

This pull request refactors the installer build pipeline to simplify and
modernize the process, focusing exclusively on the WiX 5 (VNext)
installer and removing legacy WiX 3 support. It eliminates the use of
the `installerSuffix` parameter and related logic, removes the legacy
installer build steps and scripts, and updates documentation to reflect
the new architecture. The changes streamline the pipeline, reduce
complexity, and ensure only the latest installer is built and signed.

Pipeline and build system simplification:

* Removed the `installerSuffix` parameter and all related logic from
pipeline templates and YAML files, including file naming, build steps,
and hash calculation scripts.
* Removed legacy WiX 3 installer build steps and the associated script
`installWiX.ps1`, focusing exclusively on WiX 5 (VNext) installer
builds.

Installer signing and build process updates:

* Updated `.pipelines/ESRPSigning_installer.json` to remove signing
configuration for the legacy `PowerToysSetupCustomActions.dll`, ensuring
only the VNext DLL is signed.

Documentation updates:

* Updated `doc/devdocs/core/installer.md` to remove references to WiX 3,
clarify the installer architecture as WiX 5 only, and describe the new
build process.

## CheckList:
- [ ] Should Build successfully and produce installer for both per user
and per machine
- [ ] Should install without problem

.SYNOPSIS
Build and package PowerToys (CmdPal and installer) for a specific platform and configuration LOCALLY.
.DESCRIPTION
This script automates the end-to-end build and packaging process for PowerToys, including:
- Restoring and building all necessary solutions (CmdPal, BugReportTool, etc.)
- Cleaning up old output
- Signing generated .msix packages
- Building the WiX v5 (VNext) MSI and bootstrapper installers
It is designed to work in local development.
The cert used to sign the packages is generated by
.PARAMETER Platform
Specifies the target platform for the build (e.g., 'arm64', 'x64'). Default is 'x64'.
.PARAMETER Configuration
Specifies the build configuration (e.g., 'Debug', 'Release'). Default is 'Release'.
.PARAMETER PerUser
Specifies whether to build a per-user installer (true) or machine-wide installer (false). Default is true (per-user).
.EXAMPLE
.\build-installer.ps1
Runs the installer build pipeline for x64 Release.
.EXAMPLE
.\build-installer.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Release
Runs the pipeline for x64 Release.
.EXAMPLE
.\build-installer.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Release -PerUser false
Runs the pipeline for x64 Release with machine-wide installer.
.NOTES
- Make sure to run this script from a Developer PowerShell (e.g., VS2022 Developer PowerShell).
- Generated MSIX files will be signed using cert-sign-package.ps1.
- This script will clean previous outputs under the build directories and installer directory (except *.exe files).
- First time run need admin permission to trust the certificate.
- The built installer will be placed under: installer/PowerToysSetupVNext/[Platform]/[Configuration]/User[Machine]Setup
relative to the solution root directory.
- To run the full installation in other machines, call "./cert-management.ps1" to export the cert used to sign the packages.
And trust the cert in the target machine.
