Subject: [PATCH] feat(windows): automate OOBE region/keyboard (oobeSystem
 International-Core)

VM run reached OOBE but the region/keyboard pages were still interactive: the
oobeSystem pass lacked Microsoft-Windows-International-Core, so 24H2 OOBE
(CloudExperienceHost) prompted for them even under legacy Setup. Add it +
HideOEMRegistrationScreen + HideLocalAccountScreen so OOBE is fully hands-off to
the local account / desktop.
