Adds in GPO support ported over from Dev Home.
Notable changes
Policy was added to the COM server launches, but not the main app since Settings uses that for configuration data, I did not want to break Settings.
The COM servers for source control integration will not launch if the policy is disabled.
Tested
It is notable that I observed File Explorer will attempt to restart the COM servers every 30 seconds, but this only happens once since the folder path is de-registered when GPO is disabled. Explorer will launch the COM server one additional time, it will exit, and then not be re-attempted.
