Jiří Polášek 6e5ad11bc3 CmdpPal: SearchBox visibility and async loading race (#42783)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces two related fixes to improve the stability and
reliability of navigation and search UI behavior in the shell:

- **Ensure search box visibility is correctly updated**  
- `ShellViewModel` previously set `IsSearchBoxVisible` after navigation
to the page, but didn’t update it when the value changed. While the
value isn’t expected to change dynamically, the property initialization
is asynchronous, which could cause a race condition.
- As a defensive measure, this also changes the default value of
uninitialized property to make it visible by default.

- **Cancel asynchronous focus placement if navigation changes**  
- Ensures that any pending asynchronous focus operation is cancelled
when another navigation occurs before it completes.
