Sanity check list for new releases.

[crutkas]

As we roll out more features and new, complex tools as well as fixes, we should come up with a testing sanity check to be sure everything works.

Upgrade paths, new users, does shell stuff work, ...

This will be a living document and list new things for a build we should verify as well as the end to end.

This will not replace unit and UI testing.

Install tests (run these tests once for the MSI version and then again for the MSIX version) :

• install on a clean machine (a clean machine doesn't have the SuperFancyZones regkey and the AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys folder
• run all funcional tests on the clean machine
• uninstall PT
• install previous version (if available) on a clean machine
  • apply FZ custom layout
  • use PowerRename with history ON
  • install the new PT version and verify the version number in the General Settings
  • verify the FZ custom layout is still active
  • use PowerRename and verify history is consistent
  • run all funcional tests
  • uninstall PT

Mix MSI and MSIX install tests:

• install the MSI version
• run PowerToys
• install MSIX version and cancel uninstall dialog warning (MSIX version should prompt that another instance of PT is already running)
• run again the MSIX version (from the Start Menu) and accept to uninstall the MSI version (verify it's properly uninstalled and that the MSIX version is running)

Functional tests:
Regressions:

• Possible race condition on multi monitor when deleting a virtual desktop #1414 (comment)
• "run at startup" on and "always run as administrator" off. It runs as administrator on startup #1524
