## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
## Validation Steps Performed
Added the following keybindings:
```json
{ "keys": "p", "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "foobar" } },
{ "keys": "q", "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "\u001b[A" } },
```
Ensured that when pressing <kbd>P</kbd> "foobar" is echoed to the shell and when pressing <kbd>Q</kbd> the shell history is being navigated backwards.
This pull request converts the following JSON deserializers to use the
new JSON deserializer pattern:
* Profile
* Command
* ColorScheme
* Action/Args
* GlobalSettings
* CascadiaSettingsSerialization
This is the completion of a long-term JSON refactoring that makes our
parser and deserializer more type-safe and robust. We're finally able to
get rid of all our manual enum conversion code and unify JSON conversion
around _types_ instead of around _keys_.
I've introduced another file filled with template specializations,
TerminalSettingsSerializationHelpers.h, which comprises a single unit
that holds all of the JSON deserializers (and eventually serializers)
for every type that comes from TerminalApp or TerminalSettings.
I've also moved some types out of Profile and GlobalAppSettings into a
new SettingsTypes.h to improve settings locality.
This does to some extent constitute a breaking change for already-broken
settings. Instead of parsing "successfully" (where invalid values are
null or 0 or unknown or unset), deserialization will now fail when
there's a type mismatch. Because of that, some tests had to be removed.
While I was on a refactoring spree, I removed a number of helpless
helpers, like GetWstringFromJson (which converted a u8 string to an
hstring to make a wstring out of its data pointer :|) and
_ConvertJsonToBool.
In the future, we can make the error types more robust and give them
position and type information such that a conformant application can
display rich error information ("line 3 column 3, I expected a string,
you gave me an integer").
Closes#2550.

I generally try to ignore upstream bits. I've accidentally included some items from the `deps/` directory. I expect someone will give me a list of items to drop, I'm happy to drop whole files/directories, or to split the PR into multiple items (E.g. comments/locals/public).
Closes#4294
* We had to move to the final API:
* Items -> TabItems
* Items.VectorChanged -> TabItemsChanged
* TabClose -> TabCloseRequested
* TabViewItem.Icon -> TabViewItem.IconSource
* TabRowControl has been converted to a ContentPresenter, which
simplifies its logic a little bit.
* TerminalPage now differentiates MUX and WUX a little better
* Because of the change from Icon to IconSource in TabViewItem,
Utils::GetColoredIcon needed to be augmented to support MUX IconSources.
It was still necessary to use for WUX, so it's been templatized.
* I moved us from WUX SplitButton to MUX SplitButton and brought the
style in line with the one typically provided by TabView.
* Some of our local controls have had their backgrounds removed so
they're more amenable to being placed on other surfaces.
* I'm suppressing the TabView's padding.
* I removed a number of apparently dead methods from App.
* I've simplified the dragbar's sizing logic and eventing.
* The winmd harvester needed to be taught to not try to copy winmds for
framework packages.
* We now only initialize the terminal once we know the size

Switch to using jsoncpp as our json library. This lets us pretty-print the json file by default, and lets users place comments in the json file.
We will now only re-write the file when the actual logical structure of the json object changes, not only when the serialization changes.
Unfortunately, this will remove any existing ordering of profiles, and make the order random. We don't terribly care though, because when #754 lands, this will be less painful.
It also introduces a top-level globals object to hold all the global properties, including keybindings. Existing profiles should gracefully upgrade.
