Diff from v5.4.0.1
[5.4.0.1...5.5](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/compare/5.4.0.1...5.5)
* At last we created the video how to use Sophia Script!
* The `PinControlPanel`, `PinDevicesPrinters`, `PinCommandPrompt`, and `UnpinAllStartTiles` functions were rewritten into one, `PinToStart`
* Now it's possible to pin Control Panel, Device and Printers, and PowerShell shortcuts without using the `syspin` app — just pure PowerShell! syspin was removed.
* You can choose what to pin
```powershell
PinToStart -Tiles ControlPanel, DevicesPrinters, PowerShell
```
or unpin all tiles
```powershell
PinToStart -UnpinAll
```

* Thnx to @inv2004

* Updated the ```CreateRestorePoint``` function
* Closed #124
* Updated the ```EnableWSL2``` function
* Code refactoring for the ```ScheduledTasks```, ```WindowsFeatures```, ```WindowsCapabilities``` & ```UninstallUWPApps```
