[ZoomIt] Add datetime suffix to screenshots (#43172)
This pull request introduces an improvement to how screenshot filenames are generated in `ZoomIt`. The main change is to ensure that each screenshot is saved with a unique, timestamped filename, which helps prevent accidental overwrites and keeps files sorted chronologically. **Enhancement to screenshot filename generation:** * Added a new implementation for `GetUniqueScreenshotFilename()` in `Zoomit.cpp` to generate screenshot filenames using the current date and time, following the format `"ZoomIt YYYY-MM-DD HHMMSS.png"`. This reduces the risk of overwriting existing files and improves file organization.<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here.

This is consistent with other tools like the Windows Snipping Tool and provides files which sort correctly when ordered by name, which is not the case for files with simple numeric suffixes. <!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well --> ## Validation Steps Performed Tested on a local build.
