Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Creates a shortcut action that allows a list of actions to be specified as arguments. Steals a bunch of the serialization code from my other pr. Overall, because I had the serialization code written already, this was remarkably easy.

I can't think of any combined action to be added to the defaults, so I think this is just a thing for the documentation unless someone else has a good example. I know there are lot of times when the recommended workaround is "make an action with commandline wt.exe ..." and this could be a good replacement for that, but that is all personalized.

I didn't add this to the command line parsing, since the command line is already a way to run multiple actions.

Validation Steps Performed

Created a new command, confirmed that "Move right->down" showed up in the command palette, and that running it did the correct behavior (moving right one pane, then down one pane).

      {
        "command": {
          "action": "multipleActions",
          "name": "Move right->down",
          "actions": [
            {"action":  "moveFocus", "direction": "right" },
            {"action":  "moveFocus", "direction": "down" },
          ]
        }
      }
