Fix telemetry blank fields by correcting property mismatches and adding fallbacks

[Copilot]

This PR fixes the issue where telemetry instances were displaying <blank> data in fields that should always be populated, such as CPU count, memory statistics, result codes, and command names.

Root Cause

The telemetry system had two main issues:

1. Property name mismatches between setup and usage:

   • setupBaseProperties() sets deviceNumCPUs and deviceTotalMemory
   • trackEvent() was incorrectly referencing numCPUs and totalMemory
   • This caused undefined values resulting in <blank> fields

2. Missing fallback values for edge cases where properties might be undefined

Changes Made

Fixed Property Name Mismatches

// Before (causing blank fields)
device: {
  numCPUs: Telemetry.commonProperties.numCPUs,        // undefined
  totalMemory: Telemetry.commonProperties.totalMemory, // undefined
}

// After (properly populated)
device: {
  numCPUs: Telemetry.commonProperties.deviceNumCPUs,
  totalMemory: Telemetry.commonProperties.deviceTotalMemory,
}

Added Fallback Values

// Added fallbacks for edge cases
commandName: Telemetry.commonProperties.commandName ?? 'Unknown',
resultCode: Telemetry.commandInfo.endInfo?.resultCode ?? 'Unknown',

Impact

• ✅ Eliminates <blank> values for CPU count and memory in telemetry dashboard
• ✅ Ensures ResultCode always has a meaningful value instead of showing blank
• ✅ Handles edge cases where command telemetry fires without proper initialization
• ✅ Maintains backward compatibility while fixing data quality issues

Testing

• Verified property mappings now correctly align between setup and usage
• Confirmed fallback values work for all edge cases
• Linting passes without issues
• No breaking changes introduced

Fixes #14154.

I've fixed the change file issue. The problem was with the change file format/naming for the @react-native-windows/telemetry package. I've created a new properly formatted change file and committed it in 1accf2c. The pipeline should now pass the change file validation.
