feat(MouseWithoutBorders): Prevent Easy Mouse from moving to another machine when an application is running in fullscreen mode. (#39854)

<!-- 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

This PR adds a new feature to Easy Mouse, it is now possible to toggle a
setting that will prevent Easy Mouse to switch away from the host
machine when the foreground application is running in full screen mode,
requiring the user to first alt tab out of the application before
performing the switch, this also comes with a way to allow the switch on
specific apps.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

This PR changes the way Easy Mouse checks wherever it should move to
another machine, after checking that the corresponding setting is
enabled and that we are trying to move away from the host machine, it
will run a test using native WinAPI methods to get the foreground window
and check if it is running in full screen.

If it is, it will then check the name of the executable against a list
of ignored app configured by the user, if the executable is found in
that list, the switch will be allowed despite the application running in
full screen.

These new settings were moved along with the original Easy Mouse toggle
to a new "Easy Mouse" setting group to avoid cluttering the Keyboard
shortcuts group.

This feature will only work when used from the controller machine, as I
didn't find a way to easily check for running application on a remote
machine that didn't involved touching the sockets, I felt like such a
change would be out of scope for this issue.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

I had a hard time writing tests and didn't achieve anything meaningful
enough to be included, I may require some guidance on how to properly
write tests for this project.

I tested my changes by running my modified version of
MouseWithoutBorders on my machines, which I did for a few days now, It
allowed me to catch a few bugs, but it has been running smoothly
otherwise.

My changes didn't seemed to have caused any automated tests to fail.

It may require some additional testing for setups including more than
two machines.
