The application uses local time to calculate the number of days between 2 dates. If a Daylight Saving Time takes place during this period of time (only Clocks Forward 2am->3am), the application will miss 1 day and fail to calculate the number of days/weeks/months between the 2 dates.

Description of the changes:
DateCalculationEngine uses local time to modify dates, however, AddDays, AddWeeks,... won't add 24 hours or 7 days if DST happens between the 2 dates, but instead add ~23.9/24.1 hours or ~6.9/7.1 days (depends if it's the DST clock backward or clock forward). When the DST is clock forward, DateCalculationEngine will miss one day.
Solution
use UTC dates to calculate date difference.
Extra Fix:
use calendar->FirstPeriodInThisDay and calendar->FirstHourInThisPeriod in ClipTime (else it will set the time to 12PM (noon) in some regions.
replace OBSERVABLE_PROPERTY_RW by OBSERVABLE_PROPERTY_R when possible.
remove the definition of CheckClipTimeSameDay (implementation missing)
How changes were validated:
Tested manually with different regions (FR, US, ES, JP).

Description of the changes:
Added support for pasting of prefix currency symbols supported by the Windows keyboard.
yen or yuan (¥)
unspecified currency sign (¤)
Ghanaian cedi (₵)
dollar or peso ($)
colón (₡)
won (₩)
shekel (₪)
naira (₦)
Indian rupee (₹)
pound (£)
euro (€)
How changes were validated:
Manually tested each prefix currency symbol supported by the Windows keyboard and ran unit tests.
Fixed comments that were inconsistent with the style guidelines described in C++ core guidelines and the modern C++/WinRT language projections and removed trailing whitespace.
Inserted a space after the beginning of the comment so the text wasn't touching the // on all occurrences.
Removed all occurrences of trailing whitespace
Before this change, the pchs for CalcViewModel and Calculator project referenced project headers. If those project headers (or any of their dependencies) were to change, then the pch would be recompiled, slowing local build times.
By removing references to project headers, the pch will be compiled once and is resilient to changes in the project. Now that project headers are explicit about their dependencies, when there is a change to a project header only the translation units referencing the modified header will need to be rebuilt.
- Manually tested by ensuring Calculator project builds locally.
