Subject: [PATCH] Match the Windows 11 type ramp in the settings window and
 menus

The Fluent redesign left text one step under the WinUI ramp it imitates:
menus were 12px where Win11 flyouts use 14px (and where the pre-redesign
system menus were 13px), body text was 13px against WinUI's 14px, and
captions sat at 11-11.5px below the ramp's 12px floor. On scaled screens
the whole window read smaller than v5.4.0 and out of place next to native
Win11 surfaces.

Adopt the ramp: 14px body (window base, menus, sidebar nav, menu glyphs)
and 12px captions (descriptions, preset examples, editor eyebrows, sidebar
tool descriptions). Headers were already BodyStrong (14 SemiBold) and the
title 20, matching Subtitle.
