Show tab previews when the user hovers over the tab bar #7093

Bring tab previews when hovering terminal tabs. Just in the Legacy Microsoft Edge, tab previews must also be implemented on tabbed based programs like Terminal and Terminal Preview. This feature is accessed by simply hovering the tab then it shows a simple thumbnail of whatever content is on that particular tab and the title at the same time.

This feature is very useful most especially nowadays where apps have a tabbed user interface (particularly the discontiuned Windows 10 feature called "Sets") and users tend to open too many tabs that they won't be able to fit anymore.

Since this a UWP app, you might as well implement the same tab preview feature as it is already implemented in the Legacy Microsoft Edge on the Windows 10 Creators Update version 1703 build 15063.

No matter how many tabs you have, when the user simply hovers that tab a tab preview including the thumbnail of that tab's content and the tab's title will appear.

This is related to #687 and #1502, but it's different enough that I'm going to throw it on the backlog.
