`cargo wdk build`: Skip signtool

[justanotheranonymoususer]

Say I want to release a production build. cargo wdk build always signs it with the test cert:

windows-drivers-rs/crates/cargo-wdk/src/actions/build/package_task.rs

Lines 241 to 250 in f1cf7f9

	self.run_signtool_sign(
	&self.dest_driver_binary_path,
	WDR_TEST_CERT_STORE,
	WDR_LOCAL_TEST_CERT,
	)?;
	self.run_signtool_sign(
	&self.dest_cat_file_path,
	WDR_TEST_CERT_STORE,
	WDR_LOCAL_TEST_CERT,
	)?;

But in case of a production build, I don't want the test signature. I want the sys file without it, so that I can go and submit it for MS to sign.

Add an option to skip running signtool with cargo wdk build.

Are you planning to add this feature as a separate --skip-signing flag, or would you integrate it into the existing build process (e.g., with a --release flag that automatically skips test signing)?

What approach are you considering for implementing this? Would you prefer:

1. A new flag like --skip-signing or --no-test-cert
2. Integrating it into the build profile (e.g., release builds automatically skip test signing)
3. Some other approach?

There is ongoing work to design a mechanism in cargo-wdk to customize the args passed to the WDK tool invocations (ex. signtool). It will not just be a standalone flag, and will not be tied to the build profile. It should provide similar levels of configurability to the VS WDK Settings/Property pages
