Fix UIA and marks regressions due to cooked read (microsoft#16105)

The initial cooked read (= conhost readline) rewrite had two flaws:
* Using viewport scrolls under ConPTY to avoid emitting newlines
resulted in various bugs around marks, coloring, etc. It's still
somewhat unclear why this happened, but the next issue is related and
much worse.
* Rewriting the input line every time causes problems with accessibility
tools, as they'll re-announce unchanged parts again and again.

The solution to these is to simply stop writing the unchanged parts of
the prompt. To do this, code was added to measure the size of text
without actually inserting them into the buffer. Since this meant that
the "interactive" mode of `WriteCharsLegacy` would need to be duplicated
for the new code, I instead moved those parts into `COOKED_READ_DATA`.
That way we can now have the interactive transform of the prompt (=
Ctrl+C -> ^C) and the two text functions (measure text & actually write
text) are now agnostic to this transformation.

Closes microsoft#16034
Closes microsoft#16044

## Validation Steps Performed
* A vision impaired user checked it out and it seemed fine ✅
