Copilot 7cc4a16aa7 Add setting to select network speed units in Command Palette (#46320)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Adds a unit selection setting to the Performance Monitor extension in
Command Palette that allows users to choose how network transmission
speed is displayed. The setting offers three options: bits per second
(Kbps/Mbps/Gbps, the default), bytes per second (KB/s/MB/s/GB/s), and
binary bytes per second using IEC prefixes (KiB/s/MiB/s/GiB/s).

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The following files were changed:

- **`NetworkSpeedUnit.cs`** (new): Enum defining the three supported
unit modes — `BitsPerSecond`, `BytesPerSecond`, and
`BinaryBytesPerSecond`.

- **`SettingsManager.cs`** (new): A `JsonSettingsManager` subclass for
the Performance Monitor extension. Defines a `ChoiceSetSetting` for
`NetworkSpeedUnit` (default: `BitsPerSecond`), stored under the
`performanceMonitor` namespace in the shared CmdPal `settings.json`.

- **`PerformanceWidgetsPage.cs`**:
- `PerformanceWidgetsPage` constructor now accepts `SettingsManager` and
passes it to `SystemNetworkUsageWidgetPage`.
- `SystemNetworkUsageWidgetPage` stores the settings manager and calls
`SpeedToString()`, which dispatches via a switch expression to
`FormatAsBitsPerSecString()` (e.g. `12.5 Mbps`),
`FormatAsBytesPerSecString()` (e.g. `1.6 MB/s`), or
`FormatAsBinaryBytesPerSecString()` (e.g. `1.5 MiB/s`) based on the
selected unit.

- **`PerformanceMonitorCommandsProvider.cs`**: Holds the
`SettingsManager`, passes it to both the list page and dock band via
`SetEnabledState()`, exposes `Settings` on the provider, and adds the
settings page to the command's `MoreCommands`. The crash-recovery
hardening from main (`ProviderCrashSentinel`,
`TryReactivateImmediately`, `SetDisabledState`, thread-safe locking) is
fully preserved and integrated with the settings manager.

- **`Resources.resw`**: Updated `Network_Speed_Unit_Setting_Title` and
`Network_Speed_Unit_Setting_Description` to neutral language; added
three choice label strings (`Network_Speed_Unit_BitsPerSec`,
`Network_Speed_Unit_BytesPerSec`,
`Network_Speed_Unit_BinaryBytesPerSec`). Also includes the
disabled-state strings merged from main.

## Validation Steps Performed

- Manually verified that the setting appears in the Performance Monitor
extension's settings page (accessible via the ⋯ context menu on the
Performance Monitor command item).
- Verified that network speed values display in Kbps/Mbps/Gbps by
default, switch to KB/s/MB/s/GB/s when the bytes option is selected, and
switch to KiB/s/MiB/s/GiB/s when the binary bytes option is selected.
- Setting persists across Command Palette restarts via the shared CmdPal
settings file.
- Verified that the crash-recovery re-enable flow correctly restores
pages with the settings manager wired up.

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.
