Description of the new feature/enhancement

A menu flyout item for the find feature.

Thanks for the offer of help! I think we're trying pretty hard ad the moment to not add additional UI elements to the New Tab flyout we already have. It's really the only UI we have at the moment, but it's a slippery slope towards having just every button in that single UI, and all of a sudden it's a cluttered mess like this:

Hopefully once #3789 lands (in 1.1), then we'll be able to add menu entries to the right-click menu on a tab, and I think that's probably a better place to put something like this.

Then there's also #3337 for adding a context menu to the terminal controls themselves, which would also be an appropriate place for this

Then of course, there's always #5400, which is another possible place.

I'm going to leave this open as a potential follow-up task of either #3337 or #3789

Is that Microsoft saying that their own products are a mess? Lol

Spec for global action IDs (#7175)
c241f83 
## Summary of the Pull Request

⚠️ This spec has been moved from #6902. That version was branched off the new tab menu customization, and had a terribly convoluted git history. After discussion with the team, we've decided that it's best that this spec is merged atomically _first_, and used as the basis for #5888, as opposed to the other way around.

> This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec],
> as well as the [New Tab Menu Customization Spec].
> 
> As we come to rely more on actions being a mechanism by which the user defines
> "do something in the Terminal", we'll want to make it even easier for users to
> re-use the actions that they've already defined, as to reduce duplicated json as
> much as possible. This spec proposes a mechanism by which actions could be
> uniquely identifiable, so that the user could refer to bindings in other
> contexts without needing to replicate an entire json blob.

In regards to the above discussion, has it been determined whether or not this is something that is wanted?

Honestly, I don't remember. I thought I closed this because eventually we were going to make it possible for users to add this on their own. I don't remember why I tagged this easy starter...

...

Okay, now I'm remembering. We thought it was a fine idea for someone to add to the tab context menu

And that should be relatively easy to do.

Add find item to tab menu (#13055)
b851b0d 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Add `Find` to tab context menu as describe in issue #5633.

## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes #5633
* [x] CLA signed. If not, go over [here](https://cla.opensource.microsoft.com/microsoft/Terminal) and sign the CLA

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Just wanted to solve `Easy Starter` issue, so any corrections/suggestions welcome. There's a couple of points I'm not sure of
* Placement of item within menu, currently it's at the end before close tab block.
* Should it be named longer, something like `Find in Tab` of just `Find` is fine?
* The workaround for focus similar to tab rename is a bit annoying, especially because it required adding a method to `TermControl` but without it find window obviously opens without focus which is bad.

## Validation Steps Performed

Open menu, press menu item try to find things via opened find dialog.
