This commit reduces the code surface that interacts with raw JSON data,
reducing code complexity and improving maintainability.
Files that needed to be changed drastically were additionally
cleaned up to remove any code cruft that has accrued over time.
In order to facility this the following changes were made:
* Move JSON handling from `CascadiaSettings` into `SettingsLoader`
This allows us to use STL containers for data model instances.
For instance profiles are now added to a hashmap for O(1) lookup.
* JSON parsing within `SettingsLoader` doesn't differentiate between user,
inbox and fragment JSON data, reducing code complexity and size.
It also centralizes common concerns, like profile deduplication and
ensuring that all profiles are assigned a GUID.
* Direct JSON modification, like the insertion of dynamic profiles into
settings.json were removed. This vastly reduces code complexity,
but unfortunately removes support for comments in JSON on first start.
* `ColorScheme`s cannot be layered. As such its `LayerJson` API was replaced
with `FromJson`, allowing us to remove JSON-based color scheme validation.
* `Profile`s used to test their wish to layer using `ShouldBeLayered`, which
was replaced with a GUID-based hashmap lookup on previously parsed profiles.
Further changes were made as improvements upon the previous changes:
* Compact the JSON files embedded binary, saving 28kB
* Prevent double-initialization of the color table in `ColorScheme`
* Making `til::color` getters `constexpr`, allow better optimizations
The result is a reduction of:
* 48kB binary size for the Settings.Model.dll
* 5-10% startup duration
* 26% code for the `CascadiaSettings` class
* 1% overall code in this project
Furthermore this results in the following breaking changes:
* The long deprecated "globals" settings object will not be detected and no
warning will be created during load.
* The initial creation of a new settings.json will not produce helpful comments.
Both cases are caused by the removal of manual JSON handling and the
move to representing the settings file with model objects instead

This commit introduces an alternative to specifying key bindings as a combination of key modifiers and a character. It allows you to specify an explicit virtual key as `vk(nnn)`.
Additionally this commit makes it possible to bind actions to scan codes. As scan code 41 appears to be the button below the Escape key on virtually all keyboards, we'll be able to bind the quake mode hotkey to `win+sc(41)` and have it work consistently across most if not all keyboard layouts.
## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#7539, Closes#10203
* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed
## Validation Steps Performed
The following was tested both on US and DE keyboard layouts:
* Ctrl+, opens settings ✔️
* Win+` opens quake mode window ✔️
* Ctrl+plus/minus increase/decrease font size ✔️
## Summary of the Pull Request
This is a follow up to #9300. Now that we have names on our windows, it would be nice to see who is named what. So this adds two actions:
* `identifyWindow`: This action will pop up a little toast (#8592) displaying the name and ID of the window, and is bound by default.
* `identifyWindows`: This action will request that ALL windows pop up that toast. This is meant to feel like the "Identify" button on the Windows display settings. However, sometimes, it's wonky.
That's being tracked upstream on https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/4382
Because it's so wonky, we won't bind that by default. Maybe if we get that fixed, then we'll change the default binding from `identifyWindow` to `identifyWindows`

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
You may note that there are some macros to make interacting with lots and lots of actions easier. There's a lot of boilerplate whenever you need to make a new action, so I thought: "Can we make that easier?"
Turns out you can make it a _LOT_ easier, but that work is still behind another PR after this one. Get excited
This pull request migrates `profiles.json` to `settings.json` and removes the legacy roaming AppData settings migrator.
It also:
* separates the key bindings in defaults.json into logical groups
* syncs the universal terminal defaults with the primary defaults
* removes some stray newlines that ended up at the beginning of settings.json and defaults.json
Fixes#5186.
Fixes#3291.
### categorize key bindings
### sync universal with main
### kill stray newlines in template files
### move profiles.json to settings.json
This commit also changes Get*Settings from returning a string to
returning a std::filesystem::path. We gain in expressiveness without a
loss in clarity (since path still supports .c_str()).
NOTE: I tried to do an atomic rename with the handle open, but it didn't
work for reparse points (it moves the destination of a symbolic link
out into the settings folder directly.)
(snip for atomic rename code)
```c++
auto path{ pathToSettingsFile.wstring() };
auto renameBufferSize{ sizeof(FILE_RENAME_INFO) + (path.size() * sizeof(wchar_t)) };
auto renameBuffer{ std::make_unique<std::byte[]>(renameBufferSize) };
auto renameInfo{ reinterpret_cast<FILE_RENAME_INFO*>(renameBuffer.get()) };
renameInfo->Flags = FILE_RENAME_FLAG_REPLACE_IF_EXISTS | FILE_RENAME_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS;
renameInfo->RootDirectory = nullptr;
renameInfo->FileNameLength = gsl::narrow_cast<DWORD>(path.size());
std::copy(path.cbegin(), path.cend(), std::begin(renameInfo->FileName));
THROW_IF_WIN32_BOOL_FALSE(SetFileInformationByHandle(hLegacyFile.get(),
FileRenameInfo,
renameBuffer.get(),
gsl::narrow_cast<DWORD>(renameBufferSize)));
```
(end snip)
### Stop resurrecting dead roaming profiles
This PR represents the start of the work on Cascading User + default settings, #754.
Cascading settings will be done in two parts:
* [ ] Layered Default+User settings (this PR)
* [ ] Dynamic Profile Generation (#2603).
Until _both_ are done, _neither are going in. The dynamic profiles PR will target this PR when it's ready, but will go in as a separate commit into master.
This PR covers adding one primary feature: the settings are now in two separate files:
* a static `defaults.json` that ships with the package (the "default settings")
* a `profiles.json` with the user's customizations (the "user settings)
User settings are _layered_ upon the settings in the defaults settings.
## References
Other things that might be related here:
* #1378 - This seems like it's definitely fixed. The default keybindings are _much_ cleaner, and without the save-on-load behavior, the user's keybindings will be left in a good state
* #1398 - This might have honestly been solved by #2475
## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#754
* [x] Closes#1378
* [x] Closes#2566
* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed
* [x] Requires documentation to be updated - it **ABSOLUTELY DOES**
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
1. We start by taking all of the `FromJson` functions in Profile, ColorScheme, Globals, etc, and converting them to `LayerJson` methods. These are effectively the same, with the change that instead of building a new object, they are simply layering the values on top of `this` object.
2. Next, we add tests for layering properties like that.
3. Now, we add a `defaults.json` to the package. This is the file the users can refer to as our default settings.
4. We then take that `defaults.json` and stamp it into an auto generated `.h` file, so we can use it's data without having to worry about reading it from disk.
5. We then change the `LoadAll` function in `CascadiaSettings`. Now, the function does two loads - one from the defaults, and then a second load from the `profiles.json` file, layering the settings from each source upon the previous values.
6. If the `profiles.json` file doesn't exist, we'll create it from a hardcoded `userDefaults.json`, which is stamped in similar to how `defaults.json` is.
7. We also add support for _unbinding_ keybindings that might exist in the `defaults.json`, but the user doesn't want to be bound to anything.
8. We add support for _hiding_ a profile, which is useful if a user doesn't want one of the default profiles to appear in the list of profiles.
## TODO:
* [x] Still need to make Alt+Click work on the settings button
* [x] Need to write some user documentation on how the new settings model works

* Layer an array of color schemes
* oh no, this was missed with #2481
must have committed without staging this change, uh oh. Not like those tests actually work so nbd
* Layer keybindings
* Read settings from defaults.json + profiles.json, layer appropriately
This is like 80% of #754. Needs tests.
* Add tests for keybindings
* add support to unbind a key with `null` or `"unbound"` or `"garbage"`
