Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Ubuntu in WSL does not detect the PulseAudio or X11 server running
  on Windows. Detecting them is easy and doing so improves the setup
  experience.

  [Test Case]

   * Install and start PulseAudio for Windows ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Enabling_Sound )
   * Install and start an X11 server for Windows ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Running_Graphical_Applications )
   * Start the Ubuntu WSL terminal
   * Make sure pulseaudio is not installed:
     $ pulseaudio

     Command 'pulseaudio' not found, but can be installed with:

     apt install pulseaudio

   * Install Firefox inside Ubuntu and play videos with sound
     $ sudo apt install firefox
     $ firefox https://youtube.com

   * Install pulseaudio
     $ sudo apt install pulseaudio
   * Close all Ubuntu WSL sessions
   * Start the Ubuntu WSL terminal again
   * Play videos with Firefox again, they should still work

  [Regression Potential]

   * Since the detection takes place in setting the profile mistakes in
  the implementation may trigger errors show to the users on login.
