Fix: Dependabot NuGet updates - Windows SDK version as TargetPlatformVersion

Dependabot hasn't created NuGet PRs since February 2025 (dependabot-core#11485 added a target
framework compatibility check). It treats every package as incompatible with
net10.0-windows10.0.22621 (dependabot-core#13278, #13923), so no update is applied.

Use net10.0-windows as TFM and set TargetPlatformIdentifier / TargetPlatformVersion
(10.0.22621.0) explicitly. MSBuild evaluates the same platform properties
(TargetPlatformMoniker, SupportedOSPlatformVersion, TargetPlatformMinVersion), NuGet resolves the
same packages / assets and Windows SDK projection (10.0.22621.57). Only the output folder changes
(net10.0-windows instead of net10.0-windows10.0.22621.0) - AppVeyor release path and AGENTS.md
updated. Verified with the Dependabot CLI: 4 PRs (IPNetwork2, Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK,
Microsoft.Web.WebView2, nulastudio.NetBeauty) instead of none.
