CmdPal: Add hidden window as owner for tool windows (#42902)
## Summary of the Pull Request This PR changes the method used to hide tool windows from the taskbar and Alt+Tab to a more reliable approach. Previously, this was achieved by adding `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW` to an unowned top-level window, which proved unreliable in several scenarios.
