Fixes DeviceNamingMode UI state tracking and defaults

Updates the FFU UI core to better track the loaded `DeviceNamingMode` configuration.
Introduces flags to detect explicit user changes versus default states.
Ensures that if the user does not explicitly set the device naming mode, it defaults gracefully and preserves legacy script behaviors.
Updates documentation to reflect the actual behavior of not writing the `DeviceNamingMode` key unless modified.

### No Device Name
This is the default option. The unattend file is still applied, but Windows generates a random computer name instead of forcing a prompt or a fixed name.
This is the default radio selection in the UI.
The active `unattend_*.xml` files in `FFUDevelopment\Unattend` use `<ComputerName>*</ComputerName>` for this default behavior.
- If you leave device naming untouched, FFU Builder does not write `DeviceNamingMode` to the generated config. This preserves the script's `Legacy` default, so an existing `FFUDevelopment\Unattend\prefixes.txt` file is still copied to deployment media when present.
- If you explicitly select this option, FFU Builder writes `DeviceNamingMode = None`. The unattend file is still applied, but Windows generates a random computer name instead of forcing a prompt or a fixed name.
The active `unattend_*.xml` files in `FFUDevelopment\Unattend` use `<ComputerName>*</ComputerName>` in the current sample files.
