This adds a procdump monitoring step before running component tests that: - Monitors for first-chance exceptions using procdump -e 1 flag - Attaches to the test process by name (CommunityToolkit.Tests.<multitarget>.exe) - Creates full memory dumps when first-chance exceptions occur - Only runs when ENABLE_DIAGNOSTICS is true and on uwp/wasdk builds This helps capture crash information for exceptions that may be caught and swallowed, providing better diagnostics for intermittent test failures.

Requested by @manodasanW for diagnosing intermittent WinUI 3 test failures. First-chance dumps will capture exceptions before they're caught/swallowed, providing better diagnostics than post-crash dumps.
