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
## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#5276
* [x] Closes#7421
* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed
## Validation Steps Performed
* Out-of-box-experience is identical to before ✔️
(Except for the settings.json file lacking comments.)
* Existing user settings load correctly ✔️
* New WSL instances are added to user settings ✔️
* New fragments are added to user settings ✔️
* All profiles are assigned GUIDs ✔️
Introduces a new TerminalSettingsModel (TSM) project. This project is
responsible for (de)serializing and exposing Windows Terminal's settings
as WinRT objects.

In the process of ripping out TSM from TerminalApp, a few other changes
were made to make this possible:
1. AppLogic's `ApplicationDisplayName` and `ApplicationVersion` was
moved to `CascadiaSettings`
- These are defined as static functions. They also no longer check if
`AppLogic::Current()` is nullptr.
2. `enum LaunchMode` was moved from TerminalApp to TSM
3. `AzureConnectionType` and `TelnetConnectionType` were moved from the
profile generators to their respective TerminalConnections
4. CascadiaSettings' `SettingsPath` and `DefaultSettingsPath` are
exposed as `hstring` instead of `std::filesystem::path`
5. `Command::ExpandCommands()` was exposed via the IDL
- This required some of the warnings to be saved to an `IVector`
instead of `std::vector`, among some other small changes.
6. The localization resources had to be split into two halves.
- Resource file linked in init.cpp. Verified at runtime thanks to the
StaticResourceLoader.
7. Added constructors to some `ActionArgs`
8. Utils.h/cpp were moved to `cascadia/inc`. `JsonKey()` was moved to
`JsonUtils`. Both TermApp and TSM need access to Utils.h/cpp.
A large amount of work includes moving to the new namespace
(`TerminalApp` --> `Microsoft::Terminal::Settings::Model`).
Fixing the tests had its own complications. Testing required us to split
up TSM into a DLL and LIB, similar to TermApp. Discussion on creating a
non-local test variant can be found in #7743.
