Complex enough to require an in depth planning process and actual budgeted, scheduled work.
Needs-Triage
It's a new issue that the core contributor team needs to triage at the next triage meeting

This PR represents the start of the work on Cascading User + default settings, #754. Cascading settings will be done in two parts: * [ ] Layered Default+User settings (this PR) * [ ] Dynamic Profile Generation (#2603). Until _both_ are done, _neither are going in. The dynamic profiles PR will target this PR when it's ready, but will go in as a separate commit into master. This PR covers adding one primary feature: the settings are now in two separate files: * a static `defaults.json` that ships with the package (the "default settings") * a `profiles.json` with the user's customizations (the "user settings) User settings are _layered_ upon the settings in the defaults settings. ## References Other things that might be related here: * #1378 - This seems like it's definitely fixed. The default keybindings are _much_ cleaner, and without the save-on-load behavior, the user's keybindings will be left in a good state * #1398 - This might have honestly been solved by #2475 ## PR Checklist * [x] Closes #754 * [x] Closes #1378 * [x] Closes #2566 * [x] I work here * [x] Tests added/passed * [x] Requires documentation to be updated - it **ABSOLUTELY DOES** ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments 1. We start by taking all of the `FromJson` functions in Profile, ColorScheme, Globals, etc, and converting them to `LayerJson` methods. These are effectively the same, with the change that instead of building a new object, they are simply layering the values on top of `this` object. 2. Next, we add tests for layering properties like that. 3. Now, we add a `defaults.json` to the package. This is the file the users can refer to as our default settings. 4. We then take that `defaults.json` and stamp it into an auto generated `.h` file, so we can use it's data without having to worry about reading it from disk. 5. We then change the `LoadAll` function in `CascadiaSettings`. Now, the function does two loads - one from the defaults, and then a second load from the `profiles.json` file, layering the settings from each source upon the previous values. 6. If the `profiles.json` file doesn't exist, we'll create it from a hardcoded `userDefaults.json`, which is stamped in similar to how `defaults.json` is. 7. We also add support for _unbinding_ keybindings that might exist in the `defaults.json`, but the user doesn't want to be bound to anything. 8. We add support for _hiding_ a profile, which is useful if a user doesn't want one of the default profiles to appear in the list of profiles. ## TODO: * [x] Still need to make Alt+Click work on the settings button * [x] Need to write some user documentation on how the new settings model works * [x] Fix the pair of tests I broke (re: Duplicate profiles) <hr> * Create profiles by layering them * Update test to layer multiple times on the same profile * Add support for layering an array of profiles, but break a couple tests * Add a defaults.json to the package * Layer colorschemes * Moves tests into individual classes * adds support for layering a colorscheme on top of another * Layer an array of color schemes * oh no, this was missed with #2481 must have committed without staging this change, uh oh. Not like those tests actually work so nbd * Layer keybindings * Read settings from defaults.json + profiles.json, layer appropriately This is like 80% of #754. Needs tests. * Add tests for keybindings * add support to unbind a key with `null` or `"unbound"` or `"garbage"` * Layer or clear optional properties * Add a helper to get an optional variable for a bunch of different types In the end, I think we need to ask _was this worth it_ * Do this with the stretch mode too * Add back in the GUID check for profiles * Add some tests for global settings layering * M A D W I T H P O W E R Add a MsBuild target to auto-generate a header with the defaults.json as a string in the file. That way, we can _always_ load the defaults. Literally impossible to not. * When the user's profile.json doesn't exist, create it from a template * Re-order profiles to match the order set in the user's profiles.json * Add tests for re-ordering profiles to match user ordering * Add support for hiding profiles using `"hidden": true` * Use the hardcoded defaults.json for the exception->"use defaults" case * Somehow I messed up the git submodules? * woo documentation * Fix a Terminal.App.Unit.Tests failure * signed/unsigned is hard * Use Alt+Settings button to open the default settings * Missed a signed/unsigned * Some very preliminary PR feedback * More PR feedback Use the wil helper for the exe path Move jsonutils into their own file kill some dead code * Add templates to these bois * remove some code for generating defaults, reorder defaults.json a tad * Make guid a std::optional * Large block of PR feedback * Remove some dead code * add some comments * tag some todos * stl is love, stl is life * add `-noprofile` * Fix the crash that dustin found * -Encoding ASCII * Set a profile's default scheme to Campbell * Fix the tests I regressed * Update UsingJsonSetting.md to reflect that changes from these PRs * Change how GenerateGuidForProfile works * Make AppKeyBindings do its own serialization * Remove leftover dead code from the previous commit * Fix up an enormous number of PR nits * Fix a typo; Update the defaults to match #2378 * Tiny nits * Some typos, PR nits * Fix this broken defaults case

Description of the new feature/enhancement
When new key binding actions are added (eg.
openNewTabDropdownin 0.4.2382.0), they're not particularly discoverable for upgrading users since they're not added to an existing settings file. It would be nice if new key binding actions were automatically added if they don't conflict with other bindings (and this behavior would probably need to be optional)Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Unclear, and I appreciate that this is much more difficult than it first appears since you'd really need to take into consideration what version they were on in order to determine which key binding actions are new and which were simply removed by the user.
