CmdPal: Improve error handling and logging in activation process (#41344)

## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR makes passing arguments from a new instance to the existing one
more resilient:


- Fixes situations where `x-cmdpal://` links might not work as expected.
Instead of performing the intended action (e.g., `x-cmdpal://background`
or `x-cmdpal://settings`), they could incorrectly just summon the main
window.

- Refactors the `AppInstance.Activated` handler to be synchronous.  
- The handler blocks `AppInstance.RedirectActivationToAsync` in the
caller.
- If it runs asynchronously (or offloads work to another thread,
including the UI thread), the calling instance may exit too soon,
preventing the activation arguments from being read.

- Adds a timeout and ensures the semaphore is always released so the
application can exit gracefully under all conditions.

- Adjusts handling for cases where the source application exits before
passing arguments by lowering the log severity to **Warning** and
providing a clearer, more descriptive message.

## Validation Steps Performed
Tested with x-cmdpal://settings under normal conditions, and with CmdPal
deliberately slowed down to take its sweet time handling the arguments
(so the calling instance times out).
