Add support for running a commandline in another WT window (#8898)
## Summary of the Pull Request

**If you're reading this PR and haven't signed off on #8135, go there first.**

![window-management-000](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/18356694/103932910-25199380-50e8-11eb-97e3-594a31da62d2.gif)

This provides the basic parts of the implementation of #4472. Namely:
* We add support for the `--window,-w <window-id>` argument to `wt.exe`, to allow a commandline to be given to another window.
    * If `window-id` is `0`, run the given commands in _the current window_.
    * If `window-id` is a negative number, run the commands in a _new_ Terminal window.
    * If `window-id` is the ID of an existing window, then run the commandline in that window.
    * If `window-id` is _not_ the ID of an existing window, create a new window. That window will be assigned the ID provided in the commandline. The provided subcommands will be run in that new window.
    * If `window-id` is omitted, then create a new window.

* [ ] Requires documentation to be updated - **sure does**

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Note that `wt -w 1 -d c:\foo cmd.exe` does work, by causing window 1 to change 

There are limitations, and there are plenty of things to work on in the future:
* [ ] We don't support names for windows yet
* [ ] We don't support window glomming by default, or a setting to configure what happens when `-w` is omitted. I thought it best to lay the groundwork first, then come back to that.
* [ ] `-w 0` currently just uses the "last activated" window, not "the current". There's more follow-up work to try and smartly find the actual window we're being called from.
* [ ] Basically anything else that's listed in projects/5.

I'm cutting this PR where it currently is, because this is already a huge PR. I believe the remaining tasks will all be easier to land, once this is in. 

## Validation Steps Performed

I've been creating windows, and closing them, and running cmdlines for a while now. I'm gonna keep doing that while the PR is open, till no bugs remain.

# TODOs
* [x] There are a bunch of `GetID`, `GetPID` calls that aren't try/caught 😬 
  -  [x] `Monarch.cpp`
  -  [x] `Peasant.cpp`
  -  [x] `WindowManager.cpp`
  -  [x] `AppHost.cpp`
* [x] If the monarch gets hung, then _you can't launch any Terminals_ 😨 We should handle this gracefully.
  - Proposed idea: give the Monarch some time to respond to a proposal for a commandline. If there's no response in that timeframe, this window is now a _hermit_, outside of society entirely. It can't be elected Monarch. It can't receive command lines. It has no ID.  
  	- Could we gracefully recover from such a state? maybe, probably not though.
    -  Same deal if a peasant hangs, it could end up hanging the monarch, right? Like if you do `wt -w 2`, and `2` is hung, then does the monarch get hung waiting on the hung peasant?
  - After talking with @miniksa, **we're gonna punt this from the initial implementation**. If people legit hit this in the wild, we'll fix it then.

Spec for Windows Terminal Window Management (#8135)
### ⇒ [doc link](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/dev/migrie/s/4472-window-management/doc/specs/%235000%20-%20Process%20Model%202.0/%234472%20-%20Windows%20Terminal%20Session%20Management.md) ⇐

## Summary of the Pull Request

This is a more detailed spec for two parts of the "Process Model 2.0" work that's being tracked in #5000. In particular, this spec focuses on the management of Windows Terminal windows, including opening new tabs in existing windows. 

Largely, the reader is expected to have already read the spec in progress in #7240, and already be familiar with the concept of "Monarch" and "Peasant" windows as introduced by that spec. For that reason, ⚠ **THIS PR IS TARGETING THE BRANCH FOR #7240** ⚠. 

### Abstract

> This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Process Model 2.0
> Spec]. That document provides a big-picture overview of changes to the entirety
> of the Windows Terminal process architecture, including both the split of
> window/content processes, as well as the introduction of monarch/peasant
> processes. The focus of that document was to identify solutions to a set of
> scenarios that were closely intertwined, and establish these solutions would
> work together, without preventing any one scenario from working. What that
> document did not do was prescribe specific solutions to the given scenarios.
>
> This document offers a deeper dive on a subset of the issues in [#5000], to
> describe specifics for managing multiple windows with the Windows Terminal. This
> includes features such as:
>
> * Run `wt` in the current window ([#4472])
> * Single Instance Mode ([#2227])

### Why are these two separate documents?

I felt that the spec that is currently in review in #7240 and this doc should remain separate, yet closely related documents. #7240 is more about showing how this large set of problems discussed in #5000 can all be solved technically, and how those solutions can be used together. It establishes that none of the proposed solutions for components of #5000 will preclude the possibility of other components being solved. What it does _not_ do however is drill too deeply on the user experience that will be built on top of those architectural changes. 

This doc on the other hand focuses more closely on a pair of scenarios, and establishes how those scenarios will work technically, and how they'll be exposed to the user. 

### TODO:

* [x] A thought - How will we handle arguments like `--fullscreen`, `--initialSize r,c`? They only apply when creating a new window, right?
* [x] When a `wt -s 1 split-pane` command is executed, we'll need to make sure to not _also_ create a new tab

### Plurals and paste tenses
In the past, plurals `foo`+`s` and past tenses `foo`+`ed` were
automatically tolerated. This turned out to be a bad design choice on my
part.

The basic example is that `potatos` would sometimes be treated as a
mistake and sometimes not (depending on the presence of `potato`).

You can see in this PR, that this logic resulted in `Applys` being
accepted as a word along with `AppContainered` -- there's nothing
intrinsically wrong w/ the latter, but unfortunately in order to screen
out the former, my shortcut just couldn't stick around. This means that
the `dictionary`/`expect` files will grow perhaps by a tiny bit, but as
you can see, not really by much.

This is also why `thereses` (a user) was accepted as a word in the past
(therese is in the base dictionary, so `therese` + `s` was acceptable).

### Pull requests

When GitHub initially introduced GitHub Actions, the event for
`pull_request` was created without enough permission for a tool like
this to work properly. I worked around that by using the `schedule`
event. In 2020, they introduced a replacement event
`pull_request_target` which has enough permission. This means that I can
stop relying on the `schedule` event.

### Miscellaneous

* I've folded together some `expect/` files since now is as good a time
  as any.
* I've included a hint about `excludes.txt` (I added a similar one for
  our primary repo recently, and it came up this week in
  `microsoft/terminal` -- @zadjii-msft)
* I've standardized on a default of `.github/actions/spelling` to make
  the out of the box experience easier for new adopters, so I'm applying
  that change here -- if you're attached to the old directory name,
  specifying it is still supported. -- note the directory rename may
  cause a merge conflict for people with open PRs and changes to the
  contents, this shouldn't be a big problem.
