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.

Keep `*` if you want Windows to generate a random device name by default.
If you want the technician to be prompted for the device name during deployment, select **Prompt for Device Name** in the Build tab and enable **Copy Unattend.xml**. FFU Builder will rewrite only the staged deployment copy of `Unattend.xml` for that workflow.
Now you're ready to deploy the FFU to your device.
## Deployment
Deployment should be fairly straight forward: boot off the USB device, get prompted for a device name, and the deployment of the FFU and drivers should happen automatically.
Deployment should be fairly straight forward: boot off the USB device and the deployment of the FFU and drivers should happen automatically. If you selected **Prompt for Device Name** or another supported device naming option, that naming step will happen during deployment.
