Pull request overview
This PR adjusts the Hyper-V Petri backend’s OpenHCL (IGVM) handling to copy the IGVM firmware file into a local/temp path earlier, aiming to avoid accessibility/race issues (e.g., when the source firmware is on a WSL filesystem) during VM creation.
Changes:
- Reordered IGVM copy logic to occur before creating the Hyper-V VM.
- Added/updated comments explaining why the copy needs to occur before VM creation.

Copilot is hypothesizing that there may be some sort of race condition here. I don't think this hurts to do, and maybe it'll help?
