cproudlock ed12988591 Wax/Trace triad: harden against empty $PSScriptRoot
Tech ran Export-FormtracepakInventory.ps1 from S:\DT\shopfloor\scripts\
waxandtrace\ and the picker fired correctly but Export-Csv failed with
'Cannot bind argument to parameter Path because it is an empty string'.
Root cause: $OutputPath defaulted to $PSScriptRoot and $PSScriptRoot came
through empty in that invocation path (suspected ISE / IEX-style host or
remote wrapper). On a [string] param, $null/empty default coerces to ''
and Join-Path then errors.

Fix in all three triad scripts: resolve a local $scriptDir via a fallback
chain ($PSScriptRoot -> $PSCommandPath -> Get-Location), and use that
instead of $PSScriptRoot for sibling lookups (Select-WaxtraceAsset.ps1,
bay-config.csv).

Export additionally:
- Drops the $OutputPath = $PSScriptRoot param default in favor of the
  same fallback chain.
- Tests / creates $OutputPath BEFORE the 90k-item registry scan so a bad
  output dir surfaces immediately instead of after a long scan.

Smoke tested on win11 VM: explicit -OutputPath '' now resolves to a
writable directory and the CSV writes successfully.
