configure script distinguish WSL version if it is run on WSL. It is assumed WSL 2 if `/run/WSL` exists.
However it exists in spite of WSL 1 on Windows 11 at least. We need to check it with other method.

The method to distinguish WSL version has been discussed on https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4555 , however they do not seem to get consensus about it. `/run/WSL` was introduced in it, but I think `Hyper-V` in `/proc/interrupt` is more robustness because WSL 2 is run on Hyper-V. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/faq#does-wsl-2-use-hyper-v--will-it-be-available-on-windows-10-home-
