openSUSE images for WSL

As of 20230831, building .appx images for:

* openSUSE Leap 15.4 (disabled 20240821, smb)
* openSUSE Leap 15.5 (disabled 20250702, smb)
* openSUSE Leap 15.6 (disabled 20260805, smb)
* openSUSE Leap 16.0 (not building `.appx` here)
* openSUSE Tumbleweed

### !!! ATTENTION !!!

As of v2.4.4 of WSL (~ November 19th, 2024), compressed tarballs (as `.wsl` files) are the preferred file format for WSL Distros; Microsoft calls these ModernDistributions and `.appx` can be chosen via a `--legacy` flag.

There are no plans to continue to develop `.appx` Distro releases as they're phased out of the Microsoft Store.

Please enable building against Leap 16.1 for this project:

Run osc meta prj -e Virtualization:WSL and copy the 16.0 section to 16.1

This project is for producing .appx, which Microsoft is phasing out support for since Nov. 2024. The only openSUSE offering still in .appx form is Tumbleweed because it has existed in that form for a long time (predating and postdating this Microsoft change). As soon as the tooling which makes that possible is no longer functional, the TW .appx will no longer be produced.

The subproject Virtualization:WSL:instarball was created in Nov. 2024 to produce .tar.xz files through Kiwi and offered up through github(dot)com/microsoft/wsl as part of their "ModernDistributions".
