Add 'Restart Windows Explorer' command, implemented using Restart Manager (#39258)

<!-- 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
- Adds a new **"Restart Windows Explorer"** command to the **"Windows
System Commands"** provider
- Implemented using **Restart Manager** to allow restoring previously
opened Explorer windows after restart
- This depends on the *"Restore previous folder windows at logon"*
option in File Explorer Options
- An explicit timeout was added for terminating processes, since Restart
Manager uses very long timeouts 😴
- The shell process name (`explorer`) is hardcoded  
- The command attempts to terminate all `explorer` processes
indiscriminately
- Execution requires confirmation (if enabled in settings)
