Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Very simple function, for-each through profiles checking for a match. Returns the associated GUID if found, else returns the null GUID.

This function is marked as noexcept to comply with assumption made by other CascadiaSettings functions that Profiles::GetGuid does not throw, despite it throwing.

Validation Steps Performed

The new function is simple and can be visually validated, but added tests regardless. A new test group was added in SettingsTests called TestHelperFunctions to validate the new function FindGuid and older function FindProfile. This test group could be used to validate more helper functions in CascadiaSettings as they're added. The new test group passes after running te.exe TerminalApp.LocalTests.dll.
