[ColorPicker]Add option to choose what clicking individual mouse buttons does

[PesBandi]

Summary of the Pull Request

Enables the users to choose what left, right, and middle click does when color picker is open.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Adds option to choose from 3 click behaviors for each standard mouse button:

• Pick color and open editor: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to the color history and opens the editor
• Pick color and close: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to the color history and exits
• Close: Closes color picker without copying the color

Pressing Enter or Space does what clicking the primary button would. Left and middle click actions execute on mouse down, right click on mouse up for reasons discussed previously (I can't find the conversation now) Default settings are chosen in such a way that very little or nothing changes by updating.

Validation Steps Performed

Tested:

• Migrating settings from v2.0 to v2.1 (v1 to v2.1 not tested)
• Settings page displays and saves settings correctly
• Default settings load correctly
• All three click actions do what they are supposed to
• Activation behavior works as expected, doesn't affect click actions

I just realized that I used left/right click instead of primary/secondary everywhere. Should I change it?

Yes even if it sounds awkward. In Windows settings you could switch it up so primary is no longer left and in code behind it uses primary / secondary.

I'd also call scroll wheel "middle"

I like this too from a more power feature :)
