Description
### Describe the bug
The only remaining gap between single-project and wapproj-based solutions is support for multiple executables (multi-headed packages):
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-dev-docs/blob/docs/hub/apps/windows-app-sdk/single-project-msix.md#limitations
If this capability can be delivered, then the wapproj project templates can be completely obsoleted and removed from the component VSIXes in the VS Installer.
