Feature: Implement support for elevated operations

[hez2010]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

After we remove the full trust process, we need to implement a new model for elevated operations.
Users can already open Files as administrator to work around this issue today, but it's still better to have from the perspective of user experience.

Requirements

• For elevated operations, use an elevated COM component to execute them
• Possible blocker: CoGetObject with COM Elevation Moniker fails in packaged app microsoft/WindowsAppSDK#3092

Files Version

2.3.58

Windows Version

Windows 11 25236
