Adds Prompt option to device naming mode

Browse Source 
Introduces an explicit "Prompt" option for device naming to allow technicians to enter the device name during deployment. This replaces the implicit legacy behavior, providing clear UI controls and validation to ensure that Unattend.xml is copied, which is required for prompt-based naming. Relevant documentation is updated to reflect this new workflow capability.

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.
The active `unattend_*.xml` files in `FFUDevelopment\Unattend` use `<ComputerName>*</ComputerName>` for this default behavior.
### Prompt for Device Name
Use this option when you want the technician to enter the computer name during deployment.
- This option requires **Copy Unattend.xml**.
- The source `unattend_*.xml` files can stay at `<ComputerName>*</ComputerName>`.
- During the build, FFU Builder rewrites only the staged deployment copy of `Unattend.xml` to the legacy prompt placeholder that `ApplyFFU.ps1` already recognizes.
- **Inject Unattend.xml** is not supported with this option.
### Specify Device Name
Use this option when you want a static device name or a template such as `Comp-%serial%`.

### Deployment Prompt Compatibility
Older deployment media that still has an unattend file with `ComputerName` set to the legacy placeholder value and no `prefixes.txt` file will still prompt for a device name during deployment.
