Fixes the driver build in CI by installing the WDK. Also adds a build guide documenting the full process for building from source.

Changes to build.yml:

  • Install WDK and register the VS WDK component so the UMDF driver project compiles
  • Upload driver artifacts (DLL, INF, catalog) alongside the existing library artifacts
  • Add release job that packages artifacts on version tags
  • Include commented signing step with instructions for configuring a certificate via GitHub secrets (OV sufficient for x64, WHQL/EV needed for ARM64)

Adds BUILDING.md covering prerequisites, WPP tracing workaround, stampinf, UMDF version matching, signing, installation, and troubleshooting.

Closes #1
