CmdPal: Lightning-fast mode (#45764)

## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR unlocks lightning-fast mode for Command Palette:

- Hides visual and motion distractions when updating the result list:
- Ensures the first interactable result item is selected as early as
possible after the result list is updated, reducing flashing and
blinking caused by the selection highlight moving around.
- Removes the list item selection indicator animation (unfortunately by
removing the pill altogether for now) and prevents it from temporarily
appearing on other items as the selection moves.
- Adds a new "Results" section header above the home page results when
no other section is present.
- This ensures the first item on the home page has consistent visuals
and styling, preventing offsets and excessive visual changes when
elements are replaced in place.

- Improves update performance and container reuse:
- Fixes the `removed` output parameter in `ListHelper.UpdateInPlace` to
only include items that were actually removed (items that were merely
moved to a different position should not be reported as removed).
    - Adds unit tests to prevent regression.
- Updates `ListHelper.UpdateInPlace` for `ObservableCollection` to use
`Move` instead of `Remove`/`Add`, and avoids `Clear` to prevent
`ListView` resets (which force recreation of all item containers and are
expensive).
- Adds a simple cache for list page item view models to reduce
unnecessary recreation during forward incremental search.
- `ListViewModel` and `FetchItems` have no notion of item lifetime or
incremental search phase, so the cache intentionally remains simple
rather than clever.
  - Updates ListPage templates to make them a little lighter:
- Tag template uses OneTime, instead of OneWay - since Tag is immutable
- Replaces ItemsControl with ItemsRepeater for Tag list on list items
- Increases the debounce for showing the details pane and adds a
debounce for hiding it. This improves performance when browsing the list
and prevents the details pane animation from bouncing left and right

## Pictures? Moving!
