code-scan starred MediaCreationTool.bat

Not just an Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper script with ingenious support for business editions,
A powerful yet simple windows 10 / 11 deployment automation tool as well!

configure via set vars, commandline parameters or rename script like iso 21H2 Pro MediaCreationTool.bat
recommended windows setup options with the least amount of issues on upgrades set via auto.cmd
awesome dialogs with keyboard focus to pick target version and preset action

Auto Setup with detected media without confirmation
- can troubleshoot upgrade failing by adding no_update to script name
Create ISO with detected media in C:\ESD folder without confirmation
- can override detected media by adding edition name / language / arch to script name
Create USB with detected media after confirmation
- can click Back and select ISO instead to save in a different path
custom presets above support 'oem' media customization, that can be disabled by adding no_oem to script name
- pickup $OEM$ folder (if it exists) with any post setup tweaks like $OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\setupcomplete.cmd
- write sources\PID.txt file to preselect edition at media boot or setup within windows (if configured)
- write auto.cmd file to re-run auto setup on demand, from media (includes Skip TPM if sources are 11)
- write winpeshl.ini file in boot.wim to Skip TPM Check on media boot (if sources are 11)
Select in MCT with manual confirmation for everything in MCT GUI
- no 'oem' media customization, script passes products.xml configuration and quits without touching media

Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update v1 (wmi-based) or v2 (ifeo-based) standalone toggle scripts in MCT\ dir
- system-wide, unblocks insider previews on windows update, or running setup.exe manually while online
- when using created media on another pc for the first time, can launch auto.cmd from media once to enable

We did it! We broke gist.github.com ;) So this is the new home now. Thank you all!
