Add WinGet configuration files for building terminal (#18645)

Browse Source 
PR adds a WinGet configuration file to install the necessary
dependencies in order to build terminal locally. The configuration file
enables developer mode, installs PowerShell 7, Visual Studio 2022 & all
the required workloads from the .vsconfig file (in accordance with
the dependencies listed in the README).

## Validation Steps Performed
Tested the configuration file by spinning up a clean Win11 Pro VM in
azure and then doing the following:

1. Install latest WinGet on the VM using WinGet sandbox script.
   Install git and clone the repo
2. Run `winget configure .config/configuration.winget` (this should work
   by just double-clicking the file in explorer too)
3. After the configuration is completed, open the solution in the now
   installed Visual Studio and build. The build is successful and I could
   start terminal with F5

## Prerequisites
You can configure your environment to build Terminal in one of two ways:
### Using WinGet configuration file
After cloning the repository, you can use a [WinGet configuration file](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/configuration/#use-a-winget-configuration-file-to-configure-your-machine)
to set up your environment. The [default configuration file](.config/configuration.winget) installs Visual Studio 2022 Community & rest of the required tools. There are two other variants of the configuration file available in the [.config](.config) directory for Enterprise & Professional editions of Visual Studio 2022. To run the default configuration file, you can either double-click the file from explorer or run the following command:
```powershell
winget configure .config\configuration.winget
```
### Manual configuration
* You must be running Windows 10 2004 (build >= 10.0.19041.0) or later to run
Windows Terminal
* You must [enable Developer Mode in the Windows Settings
