fix(bootstrap): correct scalar-unwrap in OOBE-relax profile age check

The $profilePaths assignment wrapped only the inner subexpression in @(),
so the trailing Where/Select-Object -Unique pipeline unwrapped a single
result back to a scalar string. With exactly one user profile present,
$profilePaths[0] then indexed into the string and returned its first
char ('C'), making Get-Item fail with "Cannot find path 'C'". The OOBE
age check crashed and the Windows Backup for Organizations restore case
never relaxed guards 2+3.

Force an outer @() so $profilePaths is always an array. Also surface the
profile age and the exact failing condition in the SKIP/NOT-applied logs
for diagnosing future OOBE attempts.
