  1. Fix CreateInstance failure when Windows hosts file exceeds message si… 

    …ze cap (#40718) (#40726)

On Windows 10 where DNS tunneling is unavailable, the hosts file content
is embedded in the configuration message sent to the guest init. If the
hosts file exceeds the message size safety check (added in 2.7.x), the
guest rejects it causing E_UNEXPECTED.

Fix by:
- Skipping the hosts file content if it exceeds 8MB, with a user warning
- Bumping the message size cap from 4MB to 16MB as additional headroom

Fixes #40696
Fixes #40700
Fixes #40699
