Yu Leng 82f2ac632a [Settings] Move NEW tag from Shortcut Guide to Window Hopper (#49995)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Moves the `NEW` tag from Shortcut Guide to Window Hopper across
Settings:

- Moves the navigation badge, including the collapsed parent-category
badge, from System Tools to Windowing & Layouts.
- Marks Window Hopper instead of Shortcut Guide as new on the Dashboard.
- Marks Window Hopper as the new module in the OOBE module metadata.

## PR Checklist

- [ ] Closes: #xxx
- [x] **Communication:** Requested by a PowerToys contributor
- [ ] **Tests:** Not run
- [x] **Localization:** No end-user-facing strings were added or changed
- [ ] **Dev docs:** Not applicable
- [ ] **New binaries:** Not applicable
- [ ] **Documentation updated:** Not applicable

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Shortcut Guide no longer shows the `NEW` tag in the Settings navigation
or Dashboard. Window Hopper now shows it in both locations. The parent
navigation badges were moved as well so the correct category surfaces
the tag when collapsed.

The OOBE metadata already had Shortcut Guide marked as not new; this
change marks Window Hopper as new.

## Validation Steps Performed

- Ran `git diff --check`.
- Parsed `ShellPage.xaml` as XML.
- Ran source-level assertions verifying badge ownership for Shortcut
Guide, System Tools, Window Hopper, and Windowing & Layouts.
- Build and tests were not run, following the repository instruction to
avoid builds during routine verification.
