## 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.
