desktop7 shortcuts, context-menu handlers and shell-extension fixes.

Virtual-registry edits, capabilities, write-virtualization and VHD/CIM images.

Reliability fixes — Windows PowerShell 5.1 now also picks the newest Tim Mangan PSF release by default, Import-Module leaves a clean $Error, and Get-MSIXVirtualRegistryKey got its final name. v1.0.7 is the first Gallery release with all v1.0.6 changes below.
Tooling survives Update-Module — the tooling now lives in the module root; Copy-MSIXTooling takes it over from an older version without a new download (details).
Virtual registry cmdlets — Set-MSIXVirtualRegistryKey and friends are now public: write app defaults into User.dat / Registry.dat straight from your own scripts. Reworked: no hang on large values, correct data for all common value types, -WhatIf.
New fixes — Add-MSIXFixSSMS22 repairs the SSMS 21/22 connection dialog (0x80070490); Add-MSIXFixSumatraPDF keeps the SumatraPDF settings file in the real %LOCALAPPDATA%.
Invoke-MSIXCleanup — no longer deletes unrelated files via 8.3 short names on Windows PowerShell 5.1, and no endless loop with -WhatIf or when an empty folder cannot be removed.
