[CmdPal] Visual dock tweaks (#45954)

## Summary of the Pull Request

- Changes the Dock height to 38px (from 32) to avoid item and app
clipping.
- Localization
- Removing dead code
- If the tooltip string is null or empty, the tooltip will not be shown
- Adding hyperlinks on the General and Dock pages in Settings (to be
updated to the corresponding docs via aka.ms)
- The droptarget for an empty listview is now wider, and has a
highlight-color to communicate an item can be dropped:
