End-to-End Example

The example below shows one full lifecycle matching the C API example:

1. Check prerequisites
2. Print SDK version
3. Create a session (4 CPUs, 4 GB RAM)
4. Pull alpine:latest
5. Configure an init process (/bin/echo "Hello from WSL Container!")
6. Create and start the container
7. Wait for the init process to exit
8. Print exit code
9. Stop and delete the container
10. Terminate the session
