Require direct connection

Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Prevents hosts from allowing relay-based guests from joining their session. Live Share already supports the “Live Share: Connection Mode” setting, and so this policy is effectively just enforcing it to “direct”. If this policy is disabled, the host can allow relay-based guests to join their session if the host has not configured the “Live Share: Connection Mode” setting.
