[FancyZones] Add option to exclude Always-On-Top windows (aka, AOT windows always require Shift-key or mouse button to activate zones)

Description of the new feature / enhancement

When Always On Top is activated, do not automatically activate FancyZones

Enable FancyZones, uncheck Hold Shift key to activate while dragging a window, check Override Windows Snap
Enable Always On Top
for Window1, activate Always On Top via PowerToys (min viable) or native app behavior (less critical)
Click/drag Window1 --> zones remain inactive --- // REQUESTED BEHAVIOR
Hold Shift --OR-- use non-primary mouse button to toggle zone activation --> zones activated
Click/drag Window2 --> zones activated

Scenario when this would be used?

(1) To exclude AlwaysOnTop windows but not entire app and all its windows. (2) To frequently move AlwaysOnTop windows w/o frequently manually activating or deactivating FancyZones. --while retaining current functionality:-- (3) To automatically activate FancyZones when dragging windows (ie leave unchecked Hold Shift key to activate zones)

TYPICAL USE CASE: When presenting or taking notes during meetings

window1 = (A) , (B) , (C), or (D)
- (A) = native AOT (Alt + W , O) + OneNote in windowed full-page view (F11)
- (B) = Always On Top (PowerToys) + OneNote quick note (Win + Alt + N)
- (C) = Always On Top (PowerToys) + Zoom whiteboard
- (D) = native AOT (Alt + Up) + MSFT To Do
- // these are akin to 'post-it notes' that I want to float around and/or on top of faces/maps/charts/schematics/etc. I have several of these 'stickies', and I move these windows frequently.
- // I do NOT want to trigger FancyZones when dragging this window --- [REQUESTED FEATURE]
window2 = (X) , (Y) , or (Z)
- (X) = no AOT + normal OneNote
- (Y) = no AOT + normal Zoom
- (Z) = no AOT + normal that is frequently used BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT FancyZones (e.g. file explorer, web browsers) -- especially common for apps with 'mini-player' modes (e.g. VLC, iTunes), apps with floating controls, and web apps in general (streaming media, edu/courses)
- // I DO want to trigger FancyZones when dragging this window [keep current behavior]

GENERAL CASE: any window currently using Always On Top; when I activate AOT on window1, I want window1 to float on top of other windows, not fill up an entire zone.

Would be great for mtgs and presentations -- I have to manipulate windows and take notes very quickly, reliably, and unobtrusively at a minimum of thought/attention/distraction.

I tried alternatives; none worked well:

TRIED: hold shift or click a non-primary mouse button -- FAILED BECAUSE:
- too cumbersome (especially on laptops),
- too easy to forget and accidentally blow-up a window to fill an entire zone, and
- too hard to remember (I know...) because my attention is already divided heavily, so my mouse hand is effectively drunk 🥴 -- so I'm seeking a solution that works automatically, w/o intervention.
TRIED: check hold shift to activate zones -- FAILED BECAUSE: even harder to use FancyZones overall.
TRIED: exclude app -- FAILED BECAUSE: I lean heavily on FancyZones and need it to work quickly all the time.
TRIED: PowerToys.CropAndLock -- FAILED BECAUSE: performance & compatibility issues
TRIED: macros -- FAILED BECAUSE: I'm not that good.
