## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request refactors how the `ToggleThemeHotkey` property is
handled in the LightSwitch settings and view model. The changes simplify
property management by directly referencing the property within
`LightSwitchProperties` and ensure that the hotkey setting is
consistently updated and serialized.

**Settings property management:**

* In `LightSwitchSettings.Clone()`, the `LightSwitchProperties` object
now directly references the existing property instances instead of
creating new ones, and also includes the `ToggleThemeHotkey` property.

**View model property handling:**

* In `LightSwitchViewModel.ToggleThemeActivationShortcut`, the getter
and setter now directly access and update
`ModuleSettings.Properties.ToggleThemeHotkey.Value`, removing the need
for a backing field and ensuring changes are properly serialized and
notified.
