benchcat, "bc" for short, is a tool that I've written over the last
two years to help me benchmark OpenConsole and Windows Terminal.
Initially it only measured the time it took to print a file as fast as
possible, but it's grown to support a number of arguments, including
chunk (`WriteFile` call) sizes, repeat counts and VT mode with italic
and colorized output. In the future I also wish to add a way to
generate the output data on the fly via command line arguments.
One unusual trait of benchcat is that it is compiled entirely without
CRT and vcruntime. I did this so that I could test it on Windows XP.
Also, it's kind of funny seeing how it's only about 11kB.
This commit also fixes a couple `$LASTEXITCODE` cases, because our
spellchecker was bothering me a lot with this PR and so I just fixed it.

## Validation Steps Performed
This adds [`XamlStyler.Console`] to our solution, and calls it when we
format the code, to also format
our .xaml files.
* `XamlStyler.Console` is a dotnet tool so it needs to be restored with
`dotnet tool restore`
* I've added a set of rules to approximately follow [@cmaneu's XAML guidelines].
Those guidelines also recommend things based on the code-behind, which
this tool can't figure out, but also _don't matter that much_.
* There's an extra step to strip BOMs from the output, since Xaml Styler
adds a BOM by default. Some had them before and others didn't. BOMs
have been nothing but trouble though.
