feat(wsl): improve WSL path handling and output decoding

- Refactored `toWslUncPath` to remove the prefix parameter for consistency.
- Added `looksLikeUtf16Le` and `decodeWslOutput` functions to enhance output decoding from WSL commands.
- Updated `listWslDistros` to utilize a command array for better command execution handling.
- Simplified home path resolution in `handleFindWslClaudeRoots` to avoid duplicates and improve clarity.
