[Buildroot] Can buildroot support WSL config file

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 481 bytes --]

Many Linux distributions run "systemd" by default. But if you want WSL runs systemd by default, you need to put something in the file /etc/wsl.conf.

[boot]
systemd=true

(To see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#configuration-settings-for-wslconf)

Can buildroot supports it in config panel? Maybe support some options in system/Config.in to generate /etc/wsl.conf. only a single checkbox or more list of options mentioned in Microsoft WSL documents.

This file is not part of systemd; systemd does not even look at this
file at all.

Instead, as I understand it, it is looked up by the WSL2 virtual machine
runtime. As such, it is part of the integration with your "machine"
(virtual in this case).

Buildroot already offers a way to customise the generated root
filesystem in various ways, like a rootfs overlay, or a post-build
script; see the manual for further details;
