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)

Fixes#52
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.
Optimize how we build the result of GetDateDiffString and GetDateDiffStringInDays, using std::wstring (mutuable) instead of Platform::String (immutable)
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

Previewed the changed files to make sure they still work
CopyPasteManager unit tests were not fully run, the first item of arrays were never tested. (Luckily, the not-tested values were ok).
Updated from using a pre-decrement while loop to using a standard for loop with an iterator.
Previously, the CalculatorManager was managed with a unique_ptr that was instantiated in the ViewModel's constructor and was never re-assigned. Objects with long lifetime and larger memory footprint should live in dynamic memory, but the ViewModel itself lives in dynamic memory so that goal is still satisfied by storing the CalculatorManager directly in the class. The change allows the compiler to write a more efficient memory footprint for the same data.
- Verified by testing basic app functionality and running unit tests locally.
A few small changes to improve the view of the code in Solution Explorer:
* Delete folders from solution explorer which don't appear on disk (Resource Files, PerfTrack)
* Delete files on disk which aren't compiled into the project (Type.xaml)
* Rename CalculatorHistory.Cpp to CalculatorHistory.cpp, for consistency with other files
