Fix WSB collector against a real server's object model

Checked with Get-WsbCollectorDiagnostics.ps1 output from a Server 2019
Hyper-V host (AAOG-EDM-HVR1):

- WBJob StartTime/EndTime are culture-formatted local-time strings
  ("10/6/2026 9:00 PM"). Parse them with the current culture: the
  [datetime] cast uses the invariant (US) format and would misread
  dd/MM dates, e.g. on en-CA/en-GB servers. Confirmed local, not UTC,
  against the Microsoft-Windows-Backup event log
- Hyper-V backups nest VMs under a VirtualMachineList item's
  SubItemList; failures, names and the items list now come from the
  leaf items, falling back to a parent's SubItemFailed count
- Report size from the top-level items' BytesProcessed
- FailureLogPath is set even on success: running backups get no
  message, and the log is only cited for warnings/failures
- HRESULTs are strings; conversion tolerates hex and bad values
- Mock rebuilt on the real shapes; tested under en-US and en-GB
