Summary

This PR removes dead Azure Pipelines configuration files that are no longer in use. The PowerShell project has migrated to GitHub Actions for CI/CD, making these legacy Azure Pipelines files obsolete.

Changes

Deleted unused Azure Pipelines configuration files:

  1. .vsts-ci/windows-daily.yml:

    • Deleted this file as it is dead code (not referenced by any active pipeline)

  2. .vsts-ci/templates/windows-test.yml:

    • Deleted this file as it is dead code (Windows CI has been migrated to GitHub Actions)

Impact

  • No impact on active CI/CD pipelines as these files were not being used
  • The active Windows CI now runs via .github/workflows/windows-ci.yml using GitHub Actions
  • Removes 240 lines of legacy code

Testing

  • Verified that these files are not referenced by any active pipelines
  • Confirmed that Windows CI functionality is handled by GitHub Actions workflows

References

Fixes #25931

<issue_title>Migrate CI build agents from windows-2019</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Checklist

The GitHub Actions/Azure Pipelines hosted image windows-2019 has been marked as deprecated and is scheduled for full removal on 2025-12-31.

To ensure CI/CD pipelines remain functional and supported, the build agent image should be updated to use windows-latest, which currently points to a supported Windows Server image.

@copilot this is dead code, clean up the code instead of fixing it.
