Add support for running wsldhost as a Windows service. This will hopefully enable us to auto start wsldhost on startup.
The windows_service crate appears to implement the scaffolding to implement a Windows service.

Research direction
Start by locating the wsldhost entry point and reviewing how the windows_service crate provides service scaffolding. Determine how the daemon should run under the Windows service lifecycle and what startup behavior is required. Done means wsldhost can run as a Windows service and be configured to start automatically.
