WT should inject GUIDs for guidless custom profiles #2876

Description

@dev-nicolaos

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version: 0.5.2661.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open WT
  2. Open profiles.json
  3. Create an object in the profiles array
  4. Fill in some fields such as name, commandline, startingDirectory, colorScheme, etc.
  5. Save profiles.json

Expected behavior

WT will generate/add a guid to the new custom profile, that way it can be set as the defaultProfile. This was the case in previous versions of WT, before separation of cascading settings was implemented.

Actual behavior

WT does not generate/add a guid to the new profile, thus there appears to be no way to set your custom profile as the default.
