Fix misleading documentation about RoamingSettings persistence through Microsoft Store updates

[Copilot]

The current documentation incorrectly states that "The system also preserves the contents of these data stores when the user installs an update to your app" without clarifying that this doesn't apply to RoamingSettings during Microsoft Store updates.

This issue has been reported by developers who relied on this documentation and discovered their RoamingSettings data was wiped during Store updates, causing data loss for their users.

Changes Made

Updated /hub/apps/design/app-settings/store-and-retrieve-app-data.md:

• Modified the general data persistence statement to be more accurate, changing from a blanket guarantee to "generally preserves" with a specific caveat about RoamingSettings
• Added a prominent [!IMPORTANT] warning in the roaming data section explicitly stating that RoamingSettings may not persist through Microsoft Store updates
• Enhanced the LocalSettings section to emphasize its reliability for data that must survive updates

Updated /uwp/get-started/settings-learning-track.md:

• Added clarification that LocalSettings "reliably persist through app updates"
• Added a bold warning about RoamingSettings persistence issues during Store updates
• Maintained consistency with the main documentation

Impact

These changes provide developers with accurate information about data persistence behavior, preventing potential data loss scenarios. The updates maintain consistency with existing deprecation warnings about roaming being unsupported in Windows 11 while clearly directing developers to use LocalSettings for critical data that must survive app updates.

The documentation now correctly reflects the actual behavior of the Windows app data system during Microsoft Store updates.

Fixes issue where ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings does not persist between updates via Microsoft Store.

Storing app data in the app data stores

...The system also preserves the contents of these data stores when the user installs an update to your app...

However I have demonstrated that after performing an update of my app via the Microsoft Store the data in ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings is wiped.
