CmdPal: Handle Alt+Left Arrow even when search bar contains text (#40516)

Previously, the `KeyDown` handler for `Alt+Left Arrow` was not invoked
if the search bar contained text. By moving the logic to the
`PreviewKeyDown` handler, we ensure the shortcut is handled regardless
of the search bar’s content.

The handler was added to the `ShellPage`'s `PreviewKeyDown` handler,
rather than the one on `SearchBar`. This will allow the shortcut to be
available throughout the entire window and will ensure it works from
within the page content, e.g. from forms
