Allow users to add multiple items within the edit project menu
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The menu today only supports adding 1 item at a time. We should look into enabling being able to add multiple items like the new project wizard supports.
Describe the solution you'd like
Clicking on New Page... allows me to add multiple pages. Clicking on New Feature... allows me to add multiple features.
The diff view should report the collective diff across all added items.

Applies to the following platforms:
- [X] WinUI
- [X] WPF
- [X] UWP
We should look to minimize clicks when modifying projects to streamline the experience. One way to do that would be to consolidate all of the New Page..., New Feature..., etc. entry points into just New Item (Template Studio)... which launches a wizard similar to the new project wizard that lets you select multiple items across all different template types. This would streamline the UX, allow the user to add multiple items of various template types at once without having to constantly reenter the wizard, and would likely be easier to implement than to try to retrofit the new project wizard into the existing segregated new item wizard, based on @smorin4's prototyping and analysis.
