📄 Description

This pull request implements portable mode for Windows Terminal, which
will make side by side deployment of different versions generally more
feasible.

Portable mode was specified in #15032.

There are three broad categories of changes in this PR:

  1. Changes to settings loading.
  2. A new indicator in the settings UI plus a link to the portable mode
    docs.
  3. A new application display name, Terminal (Portable), which users
    will hopefully include in their bug reports.

It's surprisingly small for how big a deal it is!

Related to #15034
Closes #1386
