Windows 11 22H2 WHQL requires INF files pass "InfVerif /k", which highlights
several issues
- PnpLockdown=1 needs to be specified
- CoInstallers are no longer allowed

The CoInstaller has several functions that will need alternative solutions:
- The AllowUpdate mechanism is no longer possible
- The safety checks that ensure interface versionings remain compatible

Interface safety checks need to be handled by changes to child device bindings.

Also updates the INF bindings to require XenBus with CoInstaller removed to
maintain consistent CoInstaller removal versioning.
