Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
docker info (https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/system/info/) is used by one of my company internal tool to check the workstation installation before running it.
So, I cannot replace docker desktop with wslc for this.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Implement "wslc system info" - https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/system/info/

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Docker system info reference and locating the wslc command entry point for a new system subcommand. Define which workstation details must be exposed for Docker-compatible consumers, then verify that wslc system info returns the required information and handles normal invocation.
