Backport of #62885

Part of #62430

Update to Wix v5

Upgrades the wix toolset from V3 to V5, which we use to build our installers. Includes syntax/API updates, UI improvements, and new loc strings

Description

Wix V3 has been out of support for some time, and will no longer receive security fixes. As such, we need to update to the in-support v5. runtime, windowsdesktop, and sdk are making similar changes.

Fixes #62430

Customer Impact

At the moment, hopefully none other than minor UI tweaks. In the future, will allow us to receive critical security fixes from Wix.

Regression?

  • Yes
  • No

Risk

  • High
  • Medium
  • Low

We've done manual validation of the new installers, along w/ CTI coverage, but the Hosting Bundle is complicated and has lots of moving parts, interactions, and scenarios. It's possible that this change introduces a regression in some lesser-used IIS scenario

Verification

  • Manual (required)
  • Automated

Packaging changes reviewed?

  • Yes
  • No
  • N/A
