moooyo 2b8e6247fc [PowerDisplay] Add stable profile IDs (#49175) ...

## Summary of the Pull Request

Gives every saved PowerDisplay profile a stable, auto-incrementing
integer ID and makes the app address profiles by that ID instead of by
name. Duplicate profile names are allowed, renames preserve identity,
and LightSwitch stores stable profile references.

> Split out of the PowerDisplay CLI branch (#48632). CLI-specific
contracts and commands remain in that stacked PR.

## PR Checklist

- [x] **Closes:** N/A - split from #48632.
- [x] **Communication:** Discussed with core contributors.
- [x] **Tests:** Added and passing in `PowerDisplay.Lib.UnitTests`.
- [x] **Localization:** The composed profile label uses a shared
localized format resource.
- [x] **New binaries:** None.
- [x] **Documentation updated:**
`doc/devdocs/modules/powerdisplay/design.md`.

## Implementation

### Profile model and persistence

- `PowerDisplayProfile.Id` is the stable JSON `id`; `0` means
unassigned.
- `PowerDisplayProfiles.NextId` is monotonic and IDs are never reused.
- `SetProfile` assigns IDs to new profiles and replaces existing
profiles by ID.
- Duplicate names are supported; name lookup remains only for migration
of legacy references.
- `ProfileStore` serializes cross-process load/modify/save operations
with a named mutex and atomically replaces `profiles.json`.
- Production callers use asynchronous `ProfileHelper` APIs.

### Migration and application

- Initial PowerDisplay discovery assigns missing profile IDs and
migrates legacy monitor IDs.
- LightSwitch legacy name references are reconciled to IDs and written
back to the current typed settings schema.
- Native LightSwitch publishes pure light/dark theme events;
PowerDisplay exclusively validates profile enablement and stable IDs.
- Settings UI and Named Pipe ApplyProfile actions send invariant
positive profile IDs.
- PowerDisplay validates the ID, loads the current profile, and applies
its monitor settings.

### Settings UI

- Create, edit, apply, and delete operations use stable IDs.
- LightSwitch selectors store profile IDs and keep legacy name fields
only for migration.
- Profile lists use a localized name-and-ID label so duplicate names
remain distinguishable.

## Accepted Trade-offs

- Profile ID migration remains dependent on the initial monitor
discovery; a failed or delayed discovery can temporarily hide legacy
ID-less profiles.
- The one-time PowerDisplay LightSwitch migration rewrites the complete
current typed settings object and does not add a new cross-process
settings transaction.

## Validation

- Built the affected x64 Debug projects with the repository build
scripts.
- `PowerDisplay.Lib.UnitTests`: 186 passed, 0 failed.
