VDI: Classic Teams for end of support and end of availability timelines and warning dialogues

Classic Teams in VDI will end support on October 1, 2024, and end of availability on July 1, 2025. Users will see warning dialogues starting late July 2024, and by July 2025, they will not be able to access the classic Teams desktop clients.
