CmdPal: Make Command Palette's main and toast windows tool windows (#41835)

## Summary of the Pull Request
Replaces the `SetVisibilityInSwitchers` method with `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW`
style, removing reliance on the fragile `IsShownInSwitchers` property.
Explicitly overrides window corner preference so tool windows keep the
same rounded corners as regular app windows (tool windows otherwise
default to a smaller corner radius, which would change the look).

Benefits:
- Avoids use of the unreliable `IsShownInSwitchers` property, which has
multiple known failure cases.
- Allows window managers to correctly treat Command Palette as a popup
window rather than a normal app window, preventing unwanted tiling, grid
placement, or similar behaviors. This better matches the intended design
of CmdPal as an overlay UI.
