Intended to allow replication of the stock Windows 10/11 search button, which opens the start menu to it's search menu.
This button is quite useful as the menu features a list of applications recently launched via the start menu, eliminating the need to use the keyboard entirely.
If this button didn't exist, the user would have to open the start menu, begin typing to trigger a search, then backspace everything to show the recent applications.
Majorly smoothens workflow for users with accessibility issues, couch/HTPC usage with floating keyboards, and desks with steering wheels mounted where the user would otherwise have to reach around the steering wheel.
This button cannot currently be added to shell replacements such as RetroBar due to it being unsupported by ManagedShell; this PR implements it.
