## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds a global "language" setting, which may be set to any supported BCP 47 tag.
Additionally a ComboBox is added to the settings UI under "Appearance", listing all languages with their localized names.
This PR introduces one new issue: If you change the language while the app is running, the UI will be in a torn state, as not all UI elements refresh automatically if the `PrimaryLanguageOverride` is changed.
## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#5497
* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed
* [ ] Documentation updated. If checked, please file a pull request on [our docs repo](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal) and link it here: #xxx
* [x] Schema updated
## Validation Steps Performed
* UI language changes when changing the "language" in settings.json before starting WT / while WT is running. ✔️
* "language" field is removed from settings.json if "Use system default" is selected. ✔️
* "language" field is added or updated in settings.json if any other language is selected. ✔️
* Removes qps- languages if debugFeatures is false. ✔️
* Correctly refreshes all UI elements with the new language. ❌
This adds [`XamlStyler.Console`] to our solution, and calls it when we
format the code, to also format
our .xaml files.
* `XamlStyler.Console` is a dotnet tool so it needs to be restored with
`dotnet tool restore`
* I've added a set of rules to approximately follow [@cmaneu's XAML guidelines].
Those guidelines also recommend things based on the code-behind, which
this tool can't figure out, but also _don't matter that much_.
* There's an extra step to strip BOMs from the output, since Xaml Styler
adds a BOM by default. Some had them before and others didn't. BOMs
have been nothing but trouble though.

Updates #6459 Settings UI text
## Summary of the Pull Request
Introduces the `SettingContainer`. `SettingContainer` is used to wrap a setting in the settings UI and provide the following functionality:
- a reset button next to the header
- tooltips and automation properties for the setting being wrapped
- a comment stating if you are currently overriding a setting

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
A few highlights in this PR:
- CommonResources.xaml:
- we need to merge the SettingContainerStyle.xaml in there. Otherwise, XAML doesn't merge these files properly and can't apply the template.
- Profiles.cpp:
- view model checks if the starting directory and background image were reset, to determine which value to show when unchecking the special value
- `Profiles::OnNavigatedTo()` needs a property changed handler to update its own "Current<Setting>" and update the UI properly
- Profiles.xaml:
- basically wrapped all of the settings we want to be inheritable in there
- `Binding` is used instead of `x:Bind` in some places because `x:Bind` can't find the parent `SettingContainer` and gives you a compiler error.
- Resources.resw:
- had to set the "HeaderText" and "HelpText" on each setting container. Does a decent localization burden, unfortunately.
- `SettingContainer` files
- This operates by creating a template and applying that template over other settings. This allows you to inject the existing controls inside of this. This means that we need to provide our UIElements names and access/modify them via `OnApplyTemplate`
- We had to remove the header from each individual control, and have `SettingContainer` be in charge of it. This allows us to add the reset button in there.
- Due to the problem mentioned earlier about CommonResources.xaml, we can't reference anything from CommonResources.xaml.
- Using `DependencyProperty` to let us set a few properties in the XML files. Particularly, `Has<Setting>` and `Clear<Setting>` are what do all the heavy lifting of interacting with the inheritance model.
## Demo
## Validation Steps Performed
- Verified correct binding behavior with the following generic setting controls:
- radio buttons
- toggle switch
- text block
- slider
- settings with browse buttons
- the background image alignment control
- controls with special check boxes (starting directory and background image)
## Next Steps
- The automation properties have been verified using NVDA. This is a part of resolving #8899.
- The override text is currently "Overrides a setting". According to #8269, we actually want to add a hyperlink in there that navigates to the parent profile object. This will be a follow-up task as it requires settings model changes.
This commit introduces the terminal settings editor (to wit: the
Settings UI) as a standalone project. This project, and this commit, is
the result of two and a half months of work.
TSE started as a hackathon project in the Microsoft 2020 Hackathon, and
from there it's grown to be a bona-fide graphical settings editor.
There is a lot of xaml data binding in here, a number of views and a
number of view models, and a bunch of paradigms that we've been
reviewing and testing out and designing and refining.
