Add support for uninstalling .NET 10

[Copilot]

• Update UpperLimit from 10.0.0 to 11.0.0 in VisualStudioSafeVersionsExtractor.cs
• Add .NET 10 version division (10.0.100 to 11.0.0) to WindowsVersionDivisionsToExplanation with Visual Studio 2026
• Add .NET 10.0.0 to 10.0.100 range with empty VS version string (matches pattern for runtime versions)
• Set .NET 9 version range to 9.0.100 to 9.0.400 with Visual Studio 2022
• Update test cases in VSVersionTests.cs to reflect .NET 10 versions as uninstallable
• Fix test comparison to use >= instead of > for UpperLimit check
• Add 11.0.100 test case to TestUpperLimitAlwaysRequired
• Remove 10.0.100 from TestUpperLimitAlwaysRequired (it's below UpperLimit)
• Update versions array in CommandBundleFilterTests to include 11.0.100
• Verify changes follow the same pattern as previous version support

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Support for .NET 10</issue_title>
<issue_description>I know .NET usually releases support for uninstalling .NET versions some time after the GA release (except during .NET 9 maybe, it seems like that was done around RC 2 time), but it'd be nice to support uninstalling .NET 10 now, particularly since RC 1 has a "go-live license", which sounds like I should be able to use it in a fully functioning way; but not being able to uninstall it if something goes wrong is a big turn off for installing pre-GA versions of .NET to me, and I don't really want to go and fiddle with a bunch of files manually if I need to uninstall it (which seems to be the only other option .NET offers on macOS), so I'd be very appreciative if we could get support for .NET 10 (and hopefully future versions when their RC1s come out (or even earlier would be even better, as the preview versions are even more likely to be broken!)) now that RC 1 is out.

Thanks for considering!</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Add support for uninstalling net10. Reference the previous PR that enabled net9 support and make similar changes: https://github.com/dotnet/cli-lab/pull/308/files

The top net9 SDK is 9.0.3xx so take that into account as well.</agent_instructions>

Fixed in commit 8ada181. The issue was that the .NET 10 range started at 10.0.100, which left versions like 10.0.1 outside any range. Changed it to start at 10.0.0 to cover all .NET 10 versions.

2. Removed "10.0.100" test case from TestUpperLimitAlwaysRequired since it's now below the limit and can be uninstalled

@copilot please try again: #405 (comment)

Fixed in commit 4a7c850. Updated test expectations for versions 10.0.0 and 10.0.1:

• Changed TestGetUninstallableNonSdkVersionsWindows: 10.0.1 is now uninstallable (true)
• Changed TestGetListCommandUninstallableStringsWindows: 10.0.1 now returns "None" (uninstallable)

These versions fall outside the [10.0.100, 11.0.0) range and are treated as uninstallable.

[marcpopMSFT]

All tests passed locally. I confirmed list showed the 10.0.100 SDK and was able to remove it with my local build on windows. Need vendor pass next.

[marcpopMSFT]

[nagilson]

Thank you for this - the changes look good, and I'm happy to see how small it is in comparison to prior years. Approving to ship once vendor tests are complete and look good.

[danihengeveld]

When will this be included in a release? I'd like to uninstall the .NET 10 preview ;)
