Wax/Trace: heal 218-378-13 cal disc filename bug + VC++ 2017 + picker

09-Setup-WaxAndTrace.ps1 Step 3:
- Detect Mitutoyo's burn-time typo on 218-378-13 series cal discs
  (filenames carry a trailing space inside the probe ID component,
  e.g. "Linear_X_218-378-13 _100072210.txt"). Their own .NET Setup.exe
  calls FileSystemInfo.set_Attributes on the source path and throws
  System.ArgumentException because the path contains an embedded space
  component, crashing every cal apply on 218-378-13 bays (exit
  -532462766 = 0xE0434352, .NET unhandled exception). Confirmed via
  WER Event 1026 captured during today's WJF00159 imaging.
- When the buggy filenames are detected, bypass the broken vendor
  Setup.exe and direct-copy data\*.* into
  C:\Program Files (x86)\MitutoyoApp\Formtracepak\data\, renaming
  each file to strip ' _' (space-underscore) -> '_'. Clear read-only
  attr on each landed file. Older 218-458A discs have clean filenames
  and still use the vendor Setup.exe path.

waxtrace-manifest.json:
- Drop DetectionValue=v14.15.26706 from both VC++ 2017 redist entries.
  Windows Update routinely bumps the VS14 runtime to 14.16+ / 14.3x+,
  the older Mitutoyo redist refuses to install over the newer (exit
  1638 'Another version already installed') and the manifest engine
  marked it as failed even though the runtime was fine. Detection is
  now by registry-key+name presence, which any VC++ 2015-2022 redist
  satisfies (they are backward-compatible).

startnet.cmd:prompt_waxtrace_asset:
- Replace free-text input with select-waxtrace-asset.ps1 arrow-key
  picker driven from installers-post/waxtrace/calibrations/INDEX.csv.
- Map Y: enrollment share early so the picker can read INDEX.csv.
- Replace parens-in-parens block (echo of '(e.g. WJRP2335)' inside
  the if-paren caused 'to was unexpected at this time' parse error
  observed by tech mid-imaging) with goto-flow.
- Fall back to free-text prompt if picker unavailable or operator
  presses Esc.

select-waxtrace-asset.ps1:
- Sort bays descending by asset tag so WJRP* lands at top of menu.
- Also staged as gea-shopfloor-waxtrace/select-waxtrace-asset.ps1 so
  sync-waxtrace.sh ships it to installers-post/waxtrace/ on the share.

sync-waxtrace.sh:
- Push select-waxtrace-asset.ps1 next to INDEX.csv on the share.
