Pull Request Overview
This PR enhances the robustness of the CNS HNS restart mechanism on Windows by incorporating retry logic to prevent indefinite hangs. The changes include:
- Adding retry logic via the retry-go package to stop the HNS service.
- Introducing a new helper function (tryStopServiceFn) to encapsulate stopping logic.
- Expanding test coverage in platform/os_windows_test.go to validate multiple scenarios for stopping the HNS service.

Pull Request Overview
This PR addresses the issue of HNS hanging when restarting by introducing retry logic so that CNS does not block indefinitely waiting on HNS.
- Use of the retry-go library to repeatedly attempt stopping and starting the HNS service.
- Addition of helper functions (tryStopServiceFn and tryStartServiceFn) to encapsulate the retry logic.
- Expansion of unit tests in os_windows_test.go to cover the new retry-based service operations.

#3498 reverted two functional changes to the CNS init HNS interaction:
It turns out that HNS hangs are common enough that they notably impact CNS on Windows becoming ready and are preventing that revert from passing tests and rolling out. Thus, it is not safe for CNS to block on HNS restarting - if it hangs, CNS never becomes ready, meaning the Node never becomes Ready.
This is a retake on (2) while keeping (1) reverted - we will only try to restart HNS if the regkey is not already set. But when we do try to restart it, we will retry this instead of hanging forever.
