### Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

_No response_

### Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

Windows containers must match the version of Windows host they are run on when running in process isolation mode. This means that the current Chocolatey Docker container cannot run on all versions of Windows where HyperV isolation is not possible.

To solve this problem, more versions of the Windows container should be distributed. Providing LTSC 2019 and 2022 based containers would cover a significantly larger population of Windows installs.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Chocolatey Docker container definitions and the build or release entry points that publish them. Add coverage for Server Core LTSC 2019 and 2022, then verify that both images are built and available for their intended Windows host versions.
