## Summary of the Pull Request
SettingsUtils is initialized multiple times over the whole solution.
This creates one singeltone instance (with the default settings), so it
only has to be initialized once (and improve performance a bit with
that)

## AI summary
This pull request introduces infrastructure and code to support search
functionality for PowerToys settings, including a new search index
specification, a dedicated search library, and updates to the solution
configuration. The main changes are the addition of a spec describing
how settings should be indexed and navigated, the creation of a new
`Common.Search` project with a fuzz search implementation, and updates
to the solution file to include these new components.
**Settings Search Feature Implementation**
* Documentation:
* Added a detailed specification (`settings-search.md`) describing the
structure of PowerToys settings pages, how to index settings, navigation
logic, runtime search, result grouping, build-time indexing strategy,
and corner cases.
* New Search Library:
* Added the new `Common.Search` project to the solution, including its
project file and implementation of a fuzz search service
(`FuzzSearchService<T>`), match options, match results, and search
precision scoring.

* Solution Configuration:
* Updated `PowerToys.sln` to include `Common.Search` and
`Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder` projects, and configured their build
settings for various platforms and mapped project dependencies.

**Spell-check Dictionary Updates**
* Added new terms related to navigation and settings UI components (such
as `Navigatable`, `NavigatablePage`, `settingscard`, `Tru`, `tweakable`)
to the spell-check dictionary to support the new search and indexing
features.

* 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.
