[CmdPal] Settings UX tweaks (#49865)

Browse Source 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Simplifies the Command Palette settings experience by removing obsolete
extension-discovery UI, introducing clearer semantic sections, and
reducing repetitive setting copy.

- Removes the Store discovery banner from the Installed extensions page
now that Gallery is the primary discovery surface in
`src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Settings/ExtensionsPage.xaml`.
- Uses the existing section-header `TextBlock` pattern to organize
General and Personalization without introducing another settings-group
control.
- Regroups General settings into Activation, App behavior, For
developers, and About sections in
`src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Settings/GeneralPage.xaml`.
- Regroups Personalization settings into Appearance, Layout and
positioning, and Interaction sections in
`src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Settings/AppearancePage.xaml`.
- Moves compact mode, monitor placement, and notification placement to
Personalization, while preserving their existing bindings and automation
IDs.
- Clarifies compact-mode positioning with a horizontal slider and
directional description.

## PR Checklist

- [x] **Communication:** The settings UX was discussed and iterated with
Command Palette contributors.
- [x] **Tests:** No automated tests were added because these are
settings layout and copy changes; the CmdPal UI project builds
successfully.
- [x] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings are stored in
`src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The Installed extensions page no longer promotes the Microsoft Store
because extension discovery now lives in Gallery. The search field is
promoted to the top of the page and the obsolete Store command and
visual resources are removed.

General and Personalization now use the section-header `TextBlock` style
already established in CmdPal settings. `SettingsExpander` remains
reserved for stronger parent-child relationships, such as activation
shortcut options and compact-mode positioning. The independent **Keep
search text when reopened** and **Select search text when opened**
options remain separate toggle cards.

Compact mode is now labeled **Open with a compact search box**. Its
nested **Vertical search box position** setting uses a horizontal slider
without an icon and explains how left/right maps to lower/higher screen
placement.

## Validation Steps Performed

- Formatted the changed XAML with the repository XamlStyler
configuration.
- Built
`src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.csproj` for
x64 Debug with `tools/build/build.ps1`.
- Launched the freshly staged development package and manually inspected
the Extensions, General, and Personalization pages.
