Description of the new feature/enhancement

The WindowUiaProvider might actually not be useful in Windows Terminal. This is the case because XAML handles just about all of the accessibility we need at a XAML control level. Since we already have TermControlAutomationPeers, I doubt we'll need a WindowUiaProvider.

Removing an unused provider also ensures that we don't crash on changing an object we're not really ever caring for either.

Our signaling model may be confined to the TermControl layer, as well. That solves the issue of passing the HWND up/down layers.
