WMIC.exe deprecation - not installed by default in Windows 11 24H2

[djsvi]

I note various mesh agent functions depend on wmic.exe.

Microsoft deprecated wmic.exe some time ago and won't enable it by default on Windows 11 24H2, so now seems like an opportune time to remove this dependency.

this isnt easy and will be a big job!
as the wmic command is also embedded in the meshagent so it means we will have to build/release new agents!

in the mean time you can still enable the wmic again!
