## Summary of the Pull Request
Really couldn't be more starightforward. MUX 2.4 added support for "compact" sized tabs. This PR (targeting the 2.4 PR currently, will move to `master` when that merges) enables users to specify `"tabWidthMode": "compact"` in their global settings to get this behavior.

This brings support for "Compact" tab sizing, which compresses all inactive tabs to just the size of their icons plus the close button. Neat!
It also just keeps us generally up-to-date and good citizens.

## Summary of the Pull Request
We have a number of bugs in the Terminal that all have the same singular root cause - VT input does not carry the same fidelity that Win32 input does. For Win32 applications there are certain keystrokes that simply cannot be represented with VT sequences.
This is my proposal for how we'll handle all these cases. I'm proposing a _new VT sequence_, which will enable the Terminal to send input with all of the information that an `INPUT_RECORD` might have, to conpty. There, conpty will be able to send input to the client application with the same fidelity they're used to, enabling these keys to work for those applications once again.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This looks like a big diff, but there's a bunch of existing code that
just got moved around, and there's a cool new Utils template.
The tests all pass, and this passed manual validation. I tried weird
things like "making a profile named `{ }`"
(w/ enough spaces to look like a guid), and yeah it doesn't let you
specify that one as a name, but _why would you do that?!_
Okay, this pull request abstracts the conversion of a profile name into
an optional profile guid out of the "New Terminal Tab Args" handler and
into a common space for all of CascadiaSettings to use.
It also cleans up the conversion of indices and names into optional
GUIDs and turns _those_ into further helpers.
It also introduces a cool new template for running value_or multiple
times on a chain of optionals. CoalesceOptionals is a "choose first,
with fallback" for N>1 optionals.
On top of all this, I've built support for an "unparsed default GUID":
we load the user's defaultProfile as a string, and as part of settings
validation we unpack that string using the helpers outlined above.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Please note, I'm a non-practicing C++ developer, there are a number of things I wasn't sure how to handle in the appropriate fashion, mostly around error handling and what probably looks like an incredibly naive (and messy) way to implement the async co_await behavior.
Error handling-wise, I found (don't ask me how!) that if you somehow mismatch the startup task's ID between the manifest and the call to `StartupTask::GetAsync(hstring taskId)`, you'll get a very opaque WinRT exception that boils down to a generic invalid argument message. This isn't likely to happen in the wild, but worth mentioning...
I had enough trouble getting myself familiarized with the project, environment, and C++/WinRT in general didn't want to try to tackle adding tests for this quite yet since (as I mentioned) I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm happy to give it a try with perhaps a bit of assistance in getting started 😃
Further work in this area of the application outside of this immediate PR might need to include adding an additional setting to contain launch args that the startup task can pass to the app so that users can specify a non-default profile to launch on start, window position (e.g., #653).
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
✔️ Default settings:
Given the user does not have the `startOnUserLogin` setting in their profile.json,
When the default settings are opened (via alt+click on Settings),
Then the global settings should contain the `"startOnUserLogin": false` token
✔️ Applying setting on application launch
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task is `disabled` and
the application is not running
When the application is launched
Then the `Windows Terminal` entry in the user's Startup list should be `enabled`
✔️ Applying setting on settings change
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task is `enabled` and
the application is running
When the `startOnUserLogin` setting is changed to `false` and
the settings file is saved to disk
Then the `Windows Terminal` startup task entry should be `disabled`
✔️ Setting is ignored when user has manually disabled startup
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the application is not running and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task has been set to `disabled` via user action
When the application is launched
Then the startup task should remain disabled and
the application should not throw an exception
#### note: Task Manager does not seem to re-scan startup task states after launch; the Settings -> Apps -> Startup page also requires closing or moving away to refresh the status of entries

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
When we switched from full-screen repaints to incremental rendering, it seems like we exposed a situation where some display drivers and hardware combinations do not handle scroll and/or dirty regions (from `IDXGISwapChain::Present1`) without blurring the data from the previous frame. As we're really close to ship, I'm offering two options to let people in this situation escape it on their own. We hope in the future to figure out what's actually going on here and mitigate it further in software, but until then, these escape hatches are available.
1. `experimental.rendering.forceFullRepaint` - This one restores the pre-778 behavior to the Terminal. On every single frame paint, we'll invalidate the entire screen and repaint it.
2. `experimental.rendering.software` - This one uses the software WARP renderer instead of using the hardware and display driver directly. The theory is that this will sidestep any driver bugs or hardware variations.
One, the other, or both of these may be field-applied by users who are experiencing this behavior.
Reverting #778 completely would also resolve this, but it would give back our largest performance win in the whole Terminal project. We don't believe that's acceptable when seemingly a majority of the users are experiencing the performance benefit with no detriment to graphical display.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Flipped them on and verified with the debugger that they are being applied to the rendering pipeline
- [ ] Gave a private copy to community members in #5759 and had them try whether one, the other, or both resolved their issue.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Background
- We want the Terminal to be fast at drawing. To be fast at drawing, we perform differential drawing, or only drawing what is different from the previous frame. We use DXGI's `Present1` method to help us with this as it helps us compose only the deltas onto the previous frame at drawing time and assists us in scrolling regions from the previous frame without intervention. However, it only works on strictly integer pixel row heights.
- Most of the hit testing and size-calculation logic in both the `conhost` and the Terminal products are based on the size of an individual cell. Historically, a cell was always dictated in a `COORD` structure, or two `SHORT` values... which are integers. As such, when we specify the space for any individual glyph to be displayed inside our terminal drawing region, we want it to fall perfectly inside of an integer box to ensure all these other algorithms work correctly and continue to do so.
- Finally, we want the Terminal to have font fallback and locate glyphs that aren't in the primary selected font from any other font it can find on the system that contains the glyph, per DirectWrite's font fallback mechanisms. These glyphs won't necessarily have the same font or glyph metrics as the base font, but we need them to fit inside the same cell dimensions as if they did because the hit testing and other algorithms aren't aware of which particular font is sourcing each glyph, just the dimensions of the bounding box per cell.
### How does Terminal deal with this?
- When we select a font, we perform some calculations using the design metrics of the font and glyphs to determine how we could fit them inside a cell with integer dimensions. Our process here is that we take the requested font size (which is generally a proxy for height), find the matching glyph width for that height then round it to an integer. We back convert from that now integer width to a height value which is almost certainly now a floating point number. But because we need an integer box value, we add line padding above and below the glyphs to ensure that the height is an integer as well as the width. Finally, we don't add the padding strictly equally. We attempt to align the English baseline of the glyph box directly onto an integer pixel multiple so most characters sit crisply on a line when displayed.
- Note that fonts and their glyphs have a prescribed baseline, line gap, and advance values. We use those as guidelines to get us started, but then to meet our requirements, we pad out from those. This results in fonts that should be properly authored showing gaps. It also results in fonts that are improperly authored looking even worse than they normally would.
### Now how does block and line drawing come in?
- Block and Line drawing glyphs are generally authored so they will look fine when the font and glyph metrics are followed exactly as prescribed by the font. (For some fonts, this still isn't true and we want them to look fine anyway.)
- When we add additional padding or rounding to make glyphs fit inside of a cell, we can be adding more space than was prescribed around these glyphs. This can cause a gap to be visible.
- Additionally, when we move things like baselines to land on a perfect integer pixel, we may be drawing a glyph lower in the bounding box than was prescribed originally.
### And how do we solve it?
- We identify all glyphs in the line and block drawing ranges.
- We find the bounding boxes of both the cell and the glyph.
- We compare the height of the glyph to the height of the cell to see if we need to scale. We prescribe a scale transform if the glyph wouldn't be tall enough to fit the box. (We leave it alone otherwise as some glyphs intentionally overscan the box and scaling them can cause banding effects.)
- We inspect the overhang/underhang above and below the boxes and translate transform them (slide them) so they cover the entire cell area.
- We repeat the previous two steps but in the horizontal direction.

It was brought to our attention that shipping a font with ligatures as our default
font could be an accessibility issue for the visually-impaired. Unfortunately, we
don't have a renderer setting to disable ligatures (#759). Fortunately however, we
DO already have a version of Cascadia that doesn't have ligatures.
If we ship that and set it as our default font, we'll at least let people _opt_ to
have ligatures enabled by switching from `Cascadia Mono` to `Cascadia Code`.

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.)
