Allow conhost to be replaced with OpenConsole
Description of the new feature/enhancement
conhost can lack behind OpenConsole by several (if not many) years. This brings 2 problems:
- People preferring conhost's look and feel cannot get updates for many years.
- We (the maintainers) cannot test new features and changes for many years.
In other words, not being able to replace conhost is a lose-lose situation.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
- Ship a conhost package in the store that replaces the system conhost, just like how notepad does it.
- Consider doing the same for the Windows Terminal Canary package so that we can get a slightly better usage coverage.
