Description of the new feature/enhancement

I would like to be able to tell Windows Terminal to centre itself on the screen, rather than provide a numerical InitialPosition value.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

  1. Provide a value such as "auto-centre" or "centre" to InitialPosition
  2. ???
  3. Profit!

I... don't hate this actually. I don't think this would be too hard to do, thanks for the suggestion!

Add centerOnLaunch setting (#9036)
ba8bd00 
This PR is a resurrection of #8414. @Hegunumo has apparently deleted
their account, but the contribution was still valuable. I'm just here to
get it across the finish line.

This PR adds new global setting `centerOnLaunch`. When set to `true`,
the Terminal window will be centered on the display it opens on. 

So the interactions are like:

* `initialPos: x,y`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: default`
  center on the monitor that x,y is on 

* `initialPos: x,y`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: maximized`
  maximized on the monitor that x,y is on (centered adds nothing)

* `initialPos: <omitted>`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: default`
  center on the default monitor

* `initialPos: <omitted>`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: focus`
  center, focus mode on the default monitor

* `initialPos: <omitted>`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: maximized`
  maximized on the default monitor (centered adds nothing)

## Validation Steps Performed
I've played with it on multiple different monitors, and it seems to work
on all of them.

Closes #8414 (original PR)
Closes #7722
