microsoft-coreutils@2026.5.29: Adding Scripts, Remake shims

[SiriosDev]

Following the raw script included in the original repository, I created a script that creates hard links in bin and cmd, removes the placeholder file, and modifies and runs pwsh-install.ps1 to reference HKCU instead of HKLM, so that UAC is no longer required even for CurrentUser mode. (And Uninstall too of course).

In this way, the shipped “patch” should apply to all $PROFILE, except for legacy versions (>5.0), which are not supported by the original installer

Relates to #8107
