NeilandClaude 0fef4a8ce6 feat(wsl-host): start a WSL host's distro when one of its automations comes due (E9 B) (#33839)
* feat(wsl-host): start a WSL host's distro when one of its automations comes due

E9 connect policy, part 2. A WSL host's automations run inside its distro, so a
distro that is off (a reboot, an idle release) missed them. While a host is connected
the desktop now reads its enabled automations' next run (on connect and every 15 min)
and keeps the soonest one per host in userData. When that time comes with the host off,
it boots the distro once, and orcad's startup catch-up fires the run within its missed-
run grace. A run due while the computer was off fires once Orca starts. Nothing wakes
past the grace window, and a connected host is left to its own scheduler.

* test(wsl-host): a due automation boots a parked host once, never with WSL hosts off

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(wsl-host): keep the following run, and forget changed automations (E9 review)

Review of #33839:
- A run handled while connected dropped the host's next due time. The wake now keeps
  each host's enabled schedules and computes the following run locally whatever
  happens to this one (wake failed, past grace, handled by the host), and re-reads the
  real one from a connected host.
- A deleted, disabled or rescheduled automation kept waking the distro at its old
  time. A successful automation.create/update/delete from this desktop now re-reads the
  host's automations, as do the 15-minute re-read and every connect. Nothing boots a
  distro to check: on wake, a distro already running is just reconnected.
- wakeForAutomation/isConnected live here now (moved out of #33838); isConnected reads
  the host's reachability, never booting.

* refactor(wsl-host): say isConnected answers for this process; keep the service in bounds

isConnected reports whether the host answers through this process; false is not
"stopped" (a fresh process has no bridge yet, and the wake just connects). The
service's quiet record read moves beside the other record helpers so the file stays
within its line limit after the E9 additions.

* refactor(wsl-host): give the connector contract its own file; one wake path for focus and automations

After rebasing onto #34063, #34093 and #33110 the WSL host service was over its line
limit. The connector contract (what the service drives) moves to
wsl-host-connector-contract.ts, re-exported from the service, and the focus entry and
the automation wake share one private wake step: lift the park, then reconnect unless
the host answers, read with #33110's focusReachability so neither pays a WSL round trip
when this process has no bridge yet. An automation wake no longer reconnects a host
that already answers.

* test(wsl-host): an automation wake with no bridge skips the reachability probe
