Remove isolation attribute from Analytic and Debug channels. These channel types always have an isolation of Custom. The Admin channel was enabled by default, but the comments for the channel indicated that it should be off by default and thus it is OK to use a huge file size and have it stop collecting events when the size is reached. This looks like a copy/paste error where the logging element was copied from a channel with a different isolation type, so fix it by duplicating the Operational channel's logging element instead. Since no events are being written to the Admin channel currently, set it to disabled by default.

There's no reason to have an admin channel, it's not used for any events and I see no indication that it will change.

Since there are no events referencing this channel, it should simply be removed, not disabled.
The admin channel is not used by any events, so remove it.

Sorry, I should have mentioned this before, you'll want to remove these comments around Admin as well.

Remove isolation attribute from Analytic and Debug channels. These channel types always have an isolation of Custom, regardless of what is put here in the manifest.
Since no events are being written to the Admin channel currently, remove it. This avoids the Windows Event Log pre-allocating a file for the channel.
PR Summary
Avoid setting incorrect values in the ETW manifest that get silently ignored by mc/wevtutil.
