Replace Windows.Storage.Pickers with Common File Dialogs (#9760)

Using Pickers from an elevated application yields an
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. Of course it does: it was designed for the modern
app platform.

Using the common dialog infrastructure has some downsides¹, but it
doesn't crash and is just as flexible.

I've added some fun templated functions that help us with the
complexity.

Fixes #8957

¹You've got to use raw COM, and it runs in-proc instead of out-of-proc.

## Validation Steps Performed
I tested every picker.
