This pull request adds the requirement for the shift key to be pressed in addition to the control key.

References #14810
Implemented in #14873

This is follow up work from my last pull request that was merged that only required the control key to be pressed to launch the terminal as admin from the shell context menu. After some discussion it was decided that the shift key should be required as well as that is the norm on Windows.

Validation Steps Performed

Tested all combinations of shift+ctrl and verified that the terminal only requests elevation when a shift and control key are pressed together. The shell launches regularly if not.
