Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Problem

When using Color Picker to pick a color, it automatically copies the color value to clipboard, overwriting any existing clipboard content. Some users want to identify colors without this clipboard modification behavior.

Solution

Added a new setting CopyColorToClipboard (default: true) that controls whether the picked color is automatically copied to clipboard.

Changes:

1. ColorPickerProperties.cs - Added CopyColorToClipboard property with default value true
2. IUserSettings.cs - Added interface member for the new setting
3. UserSettings.cs - Added property implementation and settings loading
4. MainViewModel.cs - Modified HandleMouseClickAction to check the setting before copying
5. ColorPickerViewModel.cs - Added property binding for Settings UI
6. ColorPickerPage.xaml - Added ToggleSwitch for the new setting
7. Resources.resw - Added localized strings

Behavior:

• Enabled (default): Works exactly as before - color is copied to clipboard when picked
• Disabled: Color is picked and can be viewed/edited, but clipboard is not modified

Fixes #8389
