Bug description:
[Impact]
* Ubuntu in WSL2 does not detect the PulseAudio or X11 server running on Windows. Detecting them is easy and doing so improves the setup experience.
* The additional detection logic slowed down the login further, thus a minor speed optimization is also part of the change.
[Test Case] (Run once in WSL1 and once in WSL2)
* Install and start PulseAudio for Windows ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Enabling_Sound )
* Install and start an X11 server for Windows ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Running_Graphical_Applications )
* Start the Ubuntu WSL terminal
* Make sure pulseaudio is not installed:
$ pulseaudio
Command 'pulseaudio' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install pulseaudio
* Install mpg321 and x11-utils inside Ubuntu and run xeyes and play an MP3 file
$ sudo apt install x11-utils mpg321
$ xeyes
$ mpg321 foo.mp3
* Install pulseaudio
$ sudo apt install pulseaudio
* Close all Ubuntu WSL sessions
* Start the Ubuntu WSL terminal again
* Play an MP3 again, it should still work
[Regression Potential]
* Since the detection takes place in setting the profile mistakes in
the implementation may trigger errors show to the users on login.
Detecting X and PulseAudio may also break in WSL1 with the changed
detection logic, but tests include verifying that this still works.
