Summary of the Pull Request

This PR splits the anchored and unanchored tab switcher into two. The anchored tab switcher is now baked into nextTab/prevTab, and the unanchored tab switcher command is just named tabSearch. tabSearch takes no arguments. To reflect this distinction, CommandPalette.cpp now refers to one as TabSwitchMode and the other as TabSearchMode.

I've added a global setting named useTabSwitcher (name up for debate) that makes the Terminal use the anchored tab switcher experience for nextTab and prevTab.

I've also given the control the ability to detect Alt KeyUp events and to dispatch keybinding events. By listening for keybindings, the ATS can react to nextTab/prevTab invocations for navigation in addition to listening for tab and the arrow keys.

Closes #7178
