RM557562OneDrive: Set a custom name for the OneDrive sync folder

Summary

IT admins can now customize the local OneDrive sync root folder name on users' Windows computers. By default, the folder is named "OneDrive - {organization name}," which can consume valuable path length for deeply nested files and folders. With this new policy, admins can set a shorter, organization-specific folder name — reducing path length issues and giving users a cleaner file system experience.
