Follow up from #6461. That PR fixed Alt ups for the Win32 hosted Terminal, but we're still stuck without the Alt Ups on UWP. Since we don't have a traditional WndProc there, we can't just shuttle those events through.

We do however have a Dispatcher that we can use.

You should be able to get the alt key through the accelerator key event on the dispatcher. I think that's how system XAML consumes it.
