[UI tests] Add accessibility IDs to settings navigation items and fix part of FancyZones issues (#41458)

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request adds automation-friendly identifiers to navigation and
toggle UI elements throughout the PowerToys Settings. The main goal is
to improve UI test reliability and maintainability by using stable
`AutomationId` and `x:Name` attributes instead of relying on visible
text. It also updates the UI tests to use these new identifiers.

These changes make the UI automation more robust against localization
and UI text changes, improving test reliability and maintainability.
