fix(agent): cert GUID parser accepts bare 16-byte extension values

Intune's MDM device cert stores the DeviceId in OID 1.2.840.113556.5.4 as a
bare 16-byte GUID with no ASN.1 wrapper, so the strict OCTET-STRING parser
bailed on the tag check and returned null. Verified against a live Intune
device cert: 5.4 is 16 raw bytes, while 5.6 / 5.11 / 5.14 carry the usual
04 10 wrapper.

- ParseGuidFromAsn1OctetString -> ParseGuidFromExtension (the old name no
  longer describes what it parses); both encodings now handled, with the
  shared LE-GUID construction pulled into ToGuid(). The forms cannot
  collide: a wrapped 16-byte GUID is always >= 18 bytes.
- Document the Intune MDM cert OID arc on the class: 5.4 DeviceId,
  5.6 Intune AccountId (NOT the Entra tenant), 5.14 Entra TenantId,
  5.11 undocumented GUID, 5.15/.16/.17/.18/.19/.23 INTEGER enums.
- 13 tests pinning both encodings plus the malformed-input rejections,
  including a bare GUID whose first byte is the 0x04 OCTET STRING tag.

No behaviour change for the MS-Organization-Access probe the agent uses;
TryGetTenantIdFromCert is untouched.
