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.

…ing with taskbar

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 #13158 where we disabled this.
* Closes #13589
* **TODO** Does this also address #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

// ONLY "restore" if already minimized. If the window is maximized or
// snapped, a restore will restore-down the window instead.

Ah ok. So the only difference here is the IsIconic() check. Got it.

Don't forget to tag this up as servicing. Idk which versions this needs to be cherry-picked to?
