Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Currently the value of AlwaysOnTop is read by the AppHost from AppLogic that takes this value from the root TerminalPage. However at this stage neither AppLogic nor TerminalPage are initialized, and thus the return value is always false.

This PR introduces a "GetInitialAlwaysOnTop" method to AppLogic that returns a value that is configured in the settings.
In addition, the TerminalPage creation was fixed to read the configuration value upon creation (and not just after settings reload).

Validation Steps Performed

  • Only manual testing
  • Starting the system with both initial value set to true and false
  • Verifying that dynamic toggling on / off is not affected
