User Data Folder guidance for WinUI 3 needs updating

[krschau]

Link to the documentation page: The URL to the page.

Description of the issue: Information on the "Manage user data folders" is limited to packaged WinUI 3 apps. We also supported unpackaged apps, and the packaged guidance does not apply -- developers should not use the default user data folder, as it is by default created in a protected directory and throws an exception at runtime when creation fails. Guidance for unpackaged apps should probably look like the guidance for win32 apps.

An example of this confusing developers can be found here.

Thanks for filing this issue. I will add this to the team's roadmap for prioritization.

[sigmarsson]

in section "Specifying a custom UDF location" is having an example , which is 404.

Thanks @sigmarsson for finding and reporting this. I'll file a separate bug on our backlog to track this 404 link.

The link that's currently 404 points to a directory that's being added by PR 142.
