Refactor Gui project to be general purpose

Right now, we have OutGridView.Gui which obviously only supplies the GUI side of Out-GridView.

When we want to add other GUI tools like Show-Command and the likes we should refactor & rename OutGridView.Gui to GraphicalTools.Gui and figure out a way to signal GraphicalTools.Gui to show the Show-Command GUI instead of the Out-GridView GUI. This would allow us to reuse the Avalonia dlls that take up a lot of space.

I've started on this to help me wrap my head around how the function works.

I've broken it into a few steps of which I'm only on step 1:

1. Rename the OutGridView directories/files and references to the files themselves
2. Rename code references to OutGridView that are in the GraphicalTools.Gui and GraphicalTools.Model
3. Add a GuiComponent to ApplicationData that can be used to tell GraphicalTools what component has been called.

Once I'm done step 2 I'll open a Pull Request while debating step 3.

The WIP branch can be seen here: https://github.com/corbob/GraphicalTools/tree/issue-8

🤔 I think I missed a step between 2 and 3 where I qualify some of the models and views as being for OGV...

.Gui should be .GUI.

I've made a proxy function for Out-Gridview to include Out-ConsoleGridview. Maybe include it in this module as a work-around in meantime?

Excellent. Would you mind submitting his as a PR?

As this is for Avalonia and we're no longer investing in that, closing this issue.
