Description of the new feature/enhancement

UIATextRanges don't know how to move by "word" because a terminal doesn't really know what a "word" is. This is a place to discuss what that should look like.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

For Windows Terminal, the user defined "wordDelimiters" and the space character could be used for this.

For ConHost, the user can't define a "wordDelimiter". So, should we just use the space character?

Related to #2160. Might even be the same??

I don't think its the same as #2160 since the text navigation helpers explicitly decide that requests to move by word should just do line navigation instead.

As an aisde, you technically can set wordDelimiters for conhost. We'll read that setting from the registry, but never exposed a UI for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oooh. If that's the case, then we can make the UIA Provider read what the wordDelimiters are. Then, just have it read them differently according to the project. We already have a set of UIA Providers for ConHost and another for Terminal (both with the same base class).

Why not use the definition of a word boundary as defined by unicode? http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries

If somebody has the time to implement that as an alternative to user-requested word delimiters (fwiw: users want all sorts of things, and they were already fairly cross with us for shipping a delimiter set that included / and \ by default)), I'd entertain it 😄

I imagine the same would extend to "move by word"... but I'm not sure
