Adds explicit function to disable light switch by default. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist Closes: - #42402 New behavior: "Off" mode added. when off, the regular service loop stops and all actions are event driven to either resume the loop or listen for hotkey. - #42386 New behavior: Disabled explicitly by default - #42389 New behavior: When switching from dark to light mode the system theme will remove the accent color. - #42513 New behavior: Manual mode no longer gets reset. It was being overridden by the sun calculations that were invertedly running when in manual mode. Todo: - [ ] **Documentation updated:** If checked, please file a pull request on [our docs repo](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-uwp/tree/docs/hub/powertoys) and link it here: #xxx @alvinashcraft we will need to add this new mode to the documentation. ## Validation Steps Performed - Removed all default settings and tested new logic. Light Switch is set to off by default. - Updated UI and tested new "Off" mode, logs indicate mode switched and ticker stopped. Polling resumes on mode change.

It was being overridden by the sun calculations that were invertedly running when in manual mode.
