Jiří Polášek c34fb7f953 CmdPal: Harden ListViewModel fetch synchronization (#46429)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves fetching of list items in ListViewModel:
- Fixes _vmCache concurrency with copy-on-write cache publication.
- Preserves latest-fetch-wins behavior across overlapping RPC GetItems()
calls.
- Prevents stale or canceled fetches from publishing and makes them
abort promptly.
- Improves cancellation cleanup for abandoned item view models and
replaced token sources.
- Updates empty-state tracking to follow overlapping fetch activity
correctly.
- Reduces hot-path cache overhead by removing per-item cache locking and
full cache rebuilds.
- Adds guard against re-entry, to prevent situations like #46329:
- Defers ItemsChanged-triggered fetches raised during GetItems() until
the call unwinds;
- Uses a thread-local reentry guard so unrelated cross-thread fetches
are not delayed;
- Adds a regression test covering recursive GetItems() refresh behavior.
- Make sure we never invoke FetchItems on UI thread, and be loud in
debug when we are.

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.
