Update DistributionInfo.json to add "eLxr" section to "ModenDistributions". This commit adds eLxr to the Microsoft WSL's official distribution manifest, allowing users to pull and install it in an automated way (`wsl --install eLxr`).

Hi @rfu-cn, thank you for the contribution! For now, inclusion in the distributionsManifest.json list (which appears in wsl.exe --list --online) is limited to distributions that meet the membership criteria for the security mailing list. This is for security purposes incase we need to put out early warnings, request fixes, etc. That said, this isn’t the only way to distribute a WSL distro! I'd recommend hosting the .wsl file directly on your website or GitHub page and provide it as a downloadable link that users can double‑click to install. You could also document a command‑line install path, for example: I’m going to close this pull request for now for tracking purposes, but I’ll continue to watch it. If you have any feedback or follow‑up questions, feel free to comment here and I’ll see it. |

Reopening this! I didn't realize eLxr was the distro name for Wind River. |

I'll create a new pull request to rebase the latest commit. |

Hi craigloewen-msft,
I recreate a new PR Add eLxr official WSL image to the distribution manifest by rfu-cn · Pull Request #14022 · microsoft/WSL<#14022> to rebase the latest commit.
(I incorrectly used the master branch for pushing)
Thank you so much for remembering that I had previously emailed you asking about how to push code to WSL.
I really appreciate your patient and quick responses, which were extremely helpful to me.
If there are any issues that need to be modified or updated, please let me know.
You can get the eLxr information from below if you're interested:
