Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I am currently working on runtime code that has a dependency on the `target_core_user` kernel feature.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
It would be great if the WSL Kernel supported this, for example today this is the output of `sudo modprobe target_core_user`

```
❯ sudo modprobe target_core_user ~
modprobe: FATAL: Module target_core_user not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.79.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2
```

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Today I must spin up a Hyper-V VM in order to use this feature.

**Additional context**
Here is a link to the kernel feature - https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/target/tcmu-design.html

Research direction

Start by reading the linked TCMU design documentation and locating how this WSL kernel enables and packages kernel features. Verify the resulting kernel supports `target_core_user` by running `sudo modprobe target_core_user` successfully in WSL; the issue names no repository files or tests.
