Generate resources.pri in the ExternalLocation (entry point directory) instead of the .winapp/debug/ directory. For sparse packages, Windows looks for resources.pri in the ExternalLocation to resolve MRT asset variants like altform-unplated, not alongside the manifest. Also adds unit tests verifying ExpandManifestReferencedFiles correctly discovers unplated and lightunplated icon variants.

AI Description
This pull request resolves a bug where a blue plate background is visible behind app icons in the taskbar while running with debug identity.
