Description

### Suggestion

Hello.

The IVssBackupComponents interface is used by a requester to poll writers about file status and to run backup/restore operations. QEMU Guest Agent uses IVssBackupComponents class to freeze/thaw file system.
Is Windows-rs considering implementing IVssBackupComponents class? Or have we implemented file system freezing/thawing through other means?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by checking how vsbackup.h and IVssBackupComponents are represented in the generated Win32 metadata. The issue names no target file, test, or implementation plan; a useful next step is to clarify whether the interface should be added and what metadata support would count as done.
