Restore the ability for alt+tab to restore the Terminal after minimiz…

…ing with taskbar (microsoft#13624)

Curiously, at least on Windows 10 (and rarely on Windows 11), if you minimize the Terminal by clicking on the taskbar, then alt-tab to try and restore the window, the Taskbar will decide to call `SwitchToWindow` on the invisible, owned ConPTY window instead of the main window. When that happens, ConPTY'll get a `WM_SIZE(SIZE_RESTORED, lParam=0)`. The main window will NOT get a `SwitchToWindow` called. If ConPTY doesn't actually inform the hosting process about this, then the main HWND might stay hidden.

* Refer to microsoft#13158 where we disabled this.
* Closes microsoft#13589
* Closes microsoft#13248
* Tested manually on a Windows 10 VM.
* Confirmed that opening tabs while maximized/snapped doesn't restore down.
* `[Native]::ShowWindow([Native]::GetConsoleWindow(), 6)` still works
