Migrate ImageResizer to WinUI3 (#45288)

<!-- 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
Migrate WPF/WinForms utility to WinUI3 can give us many benefit.
1. Only WinUI3 support AOT. By this change, we can remove the blocker to
make imageResizer publish with AOT enabled to improve the performance.
Through the previous testing in CmdPal, it can improve about 1.5x to 3x
perf.
2. WinUI 3 provides a modern UI and makes sure that our experiences fit
in with the Windows 11 look and feel.
3. We can merge many redundant code to the same one and reduce more
codebase and installed size in the future if we successfully migrate all
remaining WPF/WinForms utility to WinUI3.
