Description
Can we also get missing APIs like `NtCreateNamedPipeFile` added to the Windows SDK - its not included anywhere that I can tell but its [documented publicly](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/devnotes/nt-create-named-pipe-file) but everyone must define it themselves including [terminal/src/types/utils.cpp at main · microsoft/terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/main/src/types/utils.cpp) and [WSL/src/windows/inc/wdk.h at master · microsoft/WSL](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/src/windows/inc/wdk.h) and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/main/library/std/src/sys/pal/windows/c.rs cc @chrisdenton

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how Win32 API metadata is represented and generated, then compare the existing declarations in terminal/src/types/utils.cpp, WSL/src/windows/inc/wdk.h, and rust/library/std/src/sys/pal/windows/c.rs. Add the documented NtCreateNamedPipeFile API to the appropriate metadata source and verify that the generated Windows SDK output includes it.
