Lucas Manuel Rodriguez 9aa4a3375b Remove the wmic.exe dependency in mdm_bridge table (#49296)
Resolves #34311.

It's not urgent because:
- Orbit uses a fallback mechanism to fetch the device UUID (using
SMBIOS):

https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/d3092bbc640ebd8e92c13476f0ca8772b98d425e/orbit/pkg/platform/platform_windows.go#L354-L359
- Only used by the `mdm_bridge` table implementation. Which is only used
by CIS policies (not for critical MDM functionality).

- [X] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.

## Testing

- [X] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

Tested on both a Windows 11 VM with 25H2 and real Windows 11 device with
23H2. The extracted UUID matches the UUID reported by osquery.

## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop

- [X] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet
(see [Must
rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/workflows/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md))
- [X] If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that
`runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes
- [X] Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows
- [X] Verified auto-update works from the released version of component
to the new version (see [tools/tuf/test](../tools/tuf/test/README.md))

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Updated Windows device identification to obtain the system UUID using
COM-based WMI querying instead of relying on the deprecated WMIC
utility.
- Removed the WMIC dependency from the MDM bridge table implementation.
- Improved cross-platform UUID handling by removing unused non-Windows
UUID placeholder logic and related constants.
