This PR adds a Windows 7 Aero-inspired theme for RetroBar.
The main XAML theme implementation is included in this PR and is currently being tested.
Some external graphical resources required by the theme are not included yet due to an issue with uploading/adding them to the repository through the current PR workflow. They will be added in a follow-up commit once the resource files can be properly included.
The theme is based on the existing Windows Vista Aero theme and adapts its structure to reproduce the Windows 7 taskbar/Superbar appearance.

It has been currently tested primarily with horizontal taskbar positions on Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 10 22H2.

What do you mean? You can include whatever files are required.
