Require CDC cleanup before Windows CMC reinstall in CDS MCP workflow

- update the Windows CMC install reference to require CDC project cleanup before reinstall when stale host state may exist
- update the VMware MigrateOps guide so the cleanup-first CMC preparation rule applies to both Linux and Windows sources
- document that Windows reinstall must be followed by a fresh CDC reconnect check before creating migration sessions
- update CDS MCP AGENTS guidance so Windows sources do not skip the standard CDC cleanup plus reinstall sequence

## Windows Reinstall Pattern
- Before install or reinstall, clean stale CDC project state for that machine when applicable instead of blindly reusing an existing registration.
- Before install or reinstall, connect over SSH with `ATVM_WINDOWS_TARGET_USER` and `ATVM_WINDOWS_TARGET_PASSWORD`.
- Check whether CMC is already installed before deciding on the next action.
- If CMC is already installed, uninstall first, then run the Windows install command again.
- After cleanup/reinstall, verify the host shows up as a fresh connected system in the CDC project before creating migrations.
- Use the same registration code and endpoint defaults as the Linux flow.
- Prefer direct SSH + PowerShell execution for both the install and uninstall commands.
