## Summary of the Pull Request

This pull request modernizes NuGet package management for the
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions` native project by migrating from
the older `packages.config` approach to the newer `PackageReference`
style. It also updates the related project references and output
handling in the toolkit project. These changes simplify dependency
management and align with current best practices for native C++/WinRT
projects.

**NuGet package management modernization:**

* Migrated `Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.vcxproj` from
`packages.config` to `PackageReference` style, specifying dependencies
directly in the project file and removing the `packages.config` file.

* Removed legacy NuGet property groups, imports, and error-checking
targets related to manual package restore, as these are now handled
automatically by `PackageReference`.

**Project reference and build output updates:**

* Updated the project reference in
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.Toolkit.csproj` to not reference
the output assembly directly, and added explicit inclusion and copying
of the native implementation DLL and WinMD files to the output
directory.

**Cleanup of unused files:**

* Removed `packages.config` from both the
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions` and `PowerRenameUILib` projects,
as dependencies are now managed via `PackageReference`.

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.
