Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Microsoft.Management.Deployment.Projection should be included in Microsoft.WindowsPackageManager.ComInterop NuGet.

Currently when using Microsoft.WindowsPackageManager.ComInterop in a C# project you need to manually copy multiple c# files from Microsoft.Management.Deployment.Projection. Ideally this logic should be included in the nuget that it can simply be consumed with minimal to no boilerplate code involved in consuming the API.

Proposed technical implementation details

Microsoft.Management.Deployment.Projection should be included in Microsoft.WindowsPackageManager.ComInterop NuGet.

Confirm how the projection's C# files are currently consumed, then verify that the published package includes them and can be used without manual file copying.
