Address Copilot review feedback on PR 2519
- Systemd paragraph: restore compatibility context — note that systemd requires a Store WSL update; older inbox builds don't support it. Also add guidance for users where 'wsl --version' isn't recognized. - Interop build qualifier: 17713 was Insider-only; the correct public release build for Windows 10 1809 is 17763. Updated accordingly. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Many Linux distributions run "systemd" by default (including Ubuntu) and WSL supports this system/service manager, making WSL even more similar to using your favorite Linux distributions on a bare metal machine. Check your WSL version with command `wsl --version`. If you need to update, you can grab the [latest version of WSL in the Microsoft Store](https://aka.ms/wslstorepage).

Many Linux distributions run "systemd" by default (including Ubuntu). WSL supports this system/service manager on recent versions of WSL from the Microsoft Store, making WSL even more similar to using your favorite Linux distributions on a bare metal machine. Check your WSL version with `wsl --version`. If you need to update, you can grab the [latest version of WSL in the Microsoft Store](https://aka.ms/wslstorepage). If `wsl --version` is not recognized, you are likely using an older inbox version of WSL that must be updated before systemd is available.
