Introduce a WinRT utils library and "checked resources" (#3350) This commit introduces a C++/WinRT utility library and moves ScopedResourceLoader into it. I decided to get uppity and introduce something I like to call "checked resources." The idea is that every resource reference from a library is knowable at compile time, and we should be able to statically ensure that all resources exist. This is a system that lets us immediately failfast (on launch) when a library makes a static reference to a resource that doesn't exist at runtime. It exposes two new (preprocessor) APIs: * `RS_(wchar_t)`: loads a localizable string resource by name. * `USES_RESOURCE(wchar_t)`: marks a resource key as used, but is intended for loading images or passing static resource keys as parameters to functions that will look them up later. Resource checking relies on diligent use of `USES_RESOURCE()` and `RS_()` (which uses `USES_RESOURCE`), but can make sure we don't ship something that'll blow up at runtime. It works like this: **IN DEBUG MODE** - All resource names referenced through `USES_RESOURCE()` are emitted alongside their referencing filenames and line numbers into a static section of the binary. That section is named `.util$res$m`. - We emit two sentinel values into two different sections, `.util$res$a` and `.util$res$z`. - The linker sorts all sections alphabetically before crushing them together into the final binary. - When we first construct a library's scoped resource loader, we iterate over every resource reference between `$a` and `$z` and check residency. **IN RELEASE MODE** - All checked resource code is compiled out. Fixes #2146. Macros are the only way to do something this cool, incidentally. ## Validation Steps Performed Made references to a bunch of bad resources, tried to break it a lot. It looks like this when it fails: ### App.cpp ``` 36 static const std::array<std::wstring_view, 2> settingsLoadErrorsLabels { 37 USES_RESOURCE(L"NoProfilesText"), 38 USES_RESOURCE(L"AllProfilesHiddenText_HA_JUST_KIDDING") 39 }; ``` ``` WinRTUtils\LibraryResources.cpp(68)\TerminalApp.dll: FailFast(1) tid(1034) 8000FFFF Catastrophic failure Msg:[Resource AllProfilesHiddenText_HA_JUST_KIDDING not found in scope TerminalApp/Resources (App.cpp:38)] [EnsureAllResourcesArePresent] ```
