Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

I'd like to be able to use WSL Settings as a DSC v3 resource to configure WSL so I don't need to use aPowerShell module. [DSC v3](https://github.com/PowerShell/DSC) will be added as an experimental feature in WinGet and WSL settings would be a great test case.

Initially, I was thinking about getting the ability to enable/disable and configure couple of settings like processor count, memory size, and networking mode, etc.

### Scenario when this would be used?

When I am running a WinGet configuration, I'd like to be able to not only install WSL, but also have it configured (without the need for a PowerShell Module containing DSC Resources).

### Supporting information
