Add the possibility to pin profile as secondary tile

UWP and Desktop Bridge apps have the possibility to pin secondary tile on the start menu in order to allow quick access to a specific part of the app (and optionally send tile notification). It can be interesting to allow Windows Terminal users to pin a profile to the start menu or eventually a terminal state (currently open tabs and panes). By this way the user can open the terminal directly where he wants just like he can do manually when he create a shortcut that target wt.exe with custom arguments.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

A "pin to start" button could be added for profiles, in a context menu on the TabItem or on the profile dropdown item. For the terminal states it could be pinned using a context menu item on the title bar blank area. Or with a specific item in the Windows Terminal dropdown menu.

An example of where is it in the settings app:
right-click-on-page-name-and-select-pin-to-start

Thanks for the suggestion! There's already #576 tracking adding profiles to the jumplist, but this seems sufficiently different to me.

One thought: How will we reconcile this UI with #5888/#1571? Do we only let people pin profiles to the start menu? What if someone wants to pin an action that opens a sequence of [new-tab with this profile, split-pane with another one] to the Start Menu? Do we need to validate that the action they're pinning is one of newTab or executeCommandline?

You know what, after crawling through the backlog this morning, it looks like this is a pretty close duplicate of #2339. I'm gonna close this one as a dup to try and keep the discussion as centralized as possible. Thanks!
