## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds support for detecting missing video codecs during video
file preview, and displays a warning message to inform the user when the
required codec is not installed.
### Changes
- Added `GetMissingCodecAsync` to detect unsupported video formats using
`MediaEncodingProfile` and `CodecQuery`.
- If a required codec is missing, display a warning in the preview UI.
- Added localized string `MissingVideoCodec_WarningMessage`:
> "This video uses the {0} format, which isn't supported. Please install
the required codec to play it."
- Add Store Search

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
To simulate a missing codec (e.g., AV1):

1. Check if the AV1 extension is installed:
   ```powershell
   Get-AppxPackage -Name *AV1*
2. If installed, remove it:
   ```powershell
   Get-AppxPackage -Name *AV1* | Remove-AppxPackage
3. Use Peek to preview a video encoded in AV1 format.
4. Confirm that a warning message is shown indicating the missing codec.

+========================================================================
+    C++/WinRT CmdPalCalculator Project Overview
+========================================================================
+
+This project demonstrates how to get started authoring Windows Runtime 
+classes directly with standard C++, using the C++/WinRT SDK component 
+to generate implementation headers from interface (IDL) files.  The
+generated Windows Runtime component binary and WinMD files should then
+be bundled with the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app consuming them.
+
+Steps:
+1. Create an interface (IDL) file to define your Windows Runtime class, 
+    its default interface, and any other interfaces it implements.
+2. Build the project once to generate module.g.cpp, module.h.cpp, and
+    implementation templates under the "Generated Files" folder, as 
+    well as skeleton class definitions under "Generated Files\sources".  
+3. Use the skeleton class definitions for reference to implement your
+    Windows Runtime classes.
+
