## PR Checklist
This PR improves FancyZones CLI usability with three enhancements:
1. **PowerShell GUID compatibility**: Users can now pass GUIDs without
braces (e.g., `0CEBCBA9-9C32-4395-B93E-DC77485AD6D0`), avoiding
PowerShell's script block interpretation issue
2. **Subcommand help**: Added `--help` support for individual commands
(e.g., `FancyZonesCLI set-layout --help`)
3. **Friendly error messages**: When PowerShell incorrectly interprets
`{GUID}` as a script block, displays a helpful message instead of
cryptic errors

PowerToys Source Code
Code organization
The PowerToys are split into DLLs for each PowerToy module (modules folder), and an executable (runner folder) that loads and manages those DLLs.
The settings window is a separate executable, contained in settings-ui folder. It utilizes a WebView to display an HTML-based settings window.
The common contains code for a static library with helper functions, used by both the runner and the PowerToys modules.
