Switch Connections to use ValueSets to initialize them (#10184)
#### ⚠️ targets #10051 

## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR does one big, primary thing. It removes all the constructors from any TerminalConnections, and changes them to use an `Initialize` method that accepts a `ValueSet` of properties.

Why?

For the upcoming window/content process work, we'll need the content process to be able to initialize the connection _in the content process_. However, the window process will be the one that knows what type of connection to make. Enter `ConnectionInformation`. This class will let us specify the class name of the type we want to create, and a set of settings to use when initializing that connection.

**IMPORTANT**: As a part of this, the constructor for a connection must have 0 arguments. `RoActivateInstance` lets you just conjure a WinRT type just by class name, but that class must have a 0 arg ctor. Hence the need for `Initialize`, to actually pass the settings.

We're using a `ValueSet` here because it's basically a json blob, with more steps. In the future, when extension authors want to have custom connections, we can always deserialize the json into a `ValueSet`, pass it to their connection's `Initialize`, and let then get what they need out of it.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

`ConnectionInformation` was included as a part of this PR, to demonstrate how this will eventually be used. `ConnectionInformation` is not _currently_ used.

## Validation Steps Performed

It still builds and runs.
