Retire Drag Tray, fix two ASUS package ids, add 23 removable apps - #141

Conversation
Microsoft removed Drop Tray (formerly Drag Tray) from Windows 11. The feature stays in the catalog with a RetiredReason so undo and older backups keep working, but it is hidden from the Tweaks tab, dropped from the defaults and skipped with a warning when passed as a switch. MyASUS and Armoury Crate were listed under package names that match nothing installed, so they were never removed. Use the published names and keep the old ids second for saved selections. Add Windows App, Surface and 21 OEM apps from upstream, and the OEM ones to the OEM preset.

Drag Tray: Microsoft removed Drop Tray (formerly Drag Tray) from Windows 11 starting with builds 26100.9168 and 26200.9168 (removal date reported by ElevenForum and Windows Latest; upstream removed the feature in 0eec316). New optional
RetiredReasonon a Features.json entry:MainWindow-TweaksBuilderskips it,Invoke-AllChangesdrops it from apply IDs and Params with a warning carrying the reason.DisableDragTraygets one and leaves DefaultSettings.json. The entry, its .reg files and its undo stay, because Winnow's restore rejects a backup naming a feature missing from the catalog (upstream had to change backup validation to skip unknown features instead).ASUS ids: MyASUS
[B9ECED6F.ASUSPCAssistant, B9ECED6F.MyASUS], Armoury Crate[B9ECED6F.ArmouryCrate, B9ECED6F.ASUSArmouryCrate]. The published names come from package listings and crash reports (no vendor documentation lists them); upstream uses ASUSPCAssistant too. The old ids never matched an installed package; they stay second so saved selections and configs naming them resolve. OEM preset updated to the new primary ids.Apps: 23 entries from upstream (Windows App
MicrosoftCorporationII.Windows365, SurfaceMicrosoft.SurfaceHub, and Acer, ASUS, HP OMEN, Lenovo, LG, MSI, Samsung apps), with upstream's en-US names and descriptions, all optional and not selected by default. 21 of them added to the OEM preset (now 50 ids, renamed to list the vendors). Not taken: upstream'sXP9CXNGPPJ97XXCopilot entry, since Winnow removes Copilot throughMicrosoft.Copilotand DisableCopilot already tries both ids.Unverified: the two winget-based OEM entries (
ROGLiveService,LenovoPCManager) are not ids in the winget catalog; they may still match a local uninstall entry since Winnow does not pass --exact. Left as they are.Tests: Test-FeaturesJson.ps1 (retired features have a reason, Drag Tray is retired, no retired feature in defaults or presets, builder and apply honour it), Test-AppsJson.ps1 (ASUS published names come first). Existing checks cover duplicate ids and preset ids.
Run: full unit suite 459 passed / 0 failed / 3 skipped (elevated launcher cases, run in CI), Invoke-StaticValidation.ps1, build.ps1.
Not run: removal of the new apps on hardware that has them.
Closes #140
