## Summary of the Pull Request
TO DO: Upgrade to the latest version of MarkdownTextBlock:
https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/pull/771
This PR introduces the following changes:
**Removed the custom titlebars on the OOBE Window, and replaced it with
the inbox WinUI `TitleBar` control.**
**New "What's new" experience following the VS Code release notes
experience**
- Created a new SCOOBE Windows that is a standalone window to better
visualize release notes.
- Adding a nav menu on the left to easily switch between release notes,
instead of a long page.
- Point releases are combined with the latest main release.. e.g. 0.96.1
is rendered above 0.96.0.
- The 'hero image' on main release notes will automatically be rendered
at the top of the page.
- Improved markdown styling for better readability.
- Pull requests links can now be clicked.
- Upgraded `CommunityToolkit.Labs.MarkdownTextblock` to the latest
version as it includes much needed bugfixes.

Note: the blurry image shown above will be replaced in new releases by
an image that fits the right dimensions.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Removes all C++/CX code, replacing it with C++/WinRT.
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Removes all C++/CX code.
Renames interop namespaces to be better consumed by CsWinRT.
Standardizes all projects on net8.0-windows10.0.20348.0, which is a
requirement for C++/WinRT usage.
FileLocksmithLibInterop brought to stdcpplatest and static analysis
errors were corrected.
Removed now unneeded string conversion code from
FileLocksmithLibInterop.
Changed interop KeyboardHook to use a single hook across all instances.
Required because on C++/WinRT we don't have the .NET runtime to bind a
object instance to a delegate and be able to pass it to a C function
pointer argument (still no idea why this worked correctly on C++/CX to
be honest). This change actually makes us create less low level keyboard
hooks.
Changed some code that depended on arrays since WinRT/C++ returns null
instead of an empty array through the interface.
## Validation Steps Performed
Built and tested runtime.
* Adds a link to the OOBE What's New Section in the ShellPage Navigation
* Updated verbiage to code as per recommendation
* Updated so that if the Oobe Window is active, clicking on the What's New option in the ShellPage navigates to the What's New page.
Added a "SetActiveWindow" Method the OobeWindow to easily open an active window of a set PowerToysModule type - this is to support being able to open the What's New Page without having to close the Oobe Window and close it every time.
* Renamed SetActiveWindow to SetAppWindow
* Adjusted method and property names for naming consistency across the application
* Fixed an oversight.
