CmdPal: Add option to return to home automatically after a delay (#43551)

## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces the Go home when activated setting with a new
Automatically return home option. This allows users to specify how long
the Command Palette should wait after being dismissed before
automatically returning to the home page. It also introduces migration
logic to transition from the old setting to the new one.
