Bug Description

[Impact]

* The tarball for Ubuntu WSL Windows Store apps is repacked from the ${release}-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz tarball with a few minor changes as part or the appx build process. Since more customization is planned for the WSL tarball livecd-rootfs' code is a better place for maintaining them.

[Test Case]

* Check livecd-rootfs autopkgtest output and observe the wsl tarball being generated among other non-minimal images. When building minimal images the WSL tarball should not be built.
* Optionally use the built tarball to build the Ubuntu WSL app and verify that it can be installed on Windows 10.

[Regression Potential]

* Since this is a separate tarball to be built there are no expected regressions affecting other images.

[Other Info]
* At the moment only LTS releases are released to the Microsoft Store thus SRUs to Disco and Cosmic can be skipped as they won't be used. There is an ongoing discussion on whether we make Disco available or if so with which additional changes.

Since this is verified, change small enough and only affecting image builds, let me release this early as per uploader request.

    goes unused when there is no human console user (and we already don't
    have the locales themselves present on a minimal image). LP: #1829333.
