Description

What would you like to be added:

Support for UISettings.AnimationsEnabled automatically when available (linked with system settings), or through a FeatureConfiguration flag when not available.

Why is this needed:

Many control implementatons rely on UISettings.AnimationsEnabled to enhance accessibility, and this feature is also useful when buildind automation testing.

The WCT DataGrid control also uses this flag: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit/blob/b60515414660f438db3e82e2f7a1b98b45d5fb07/Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls.DataGrid/Utilities/UISettingsHelper.cs

For which Platform:

All.

Anything else we need to know?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing UISettings implementation in Uno (e.g., in src/Uno.UWP/Helpers/) and add support for AnimationsEnabled and AutoHideScrollBars properties. Follow the pattern used for other UISettings properties and ensure platform specific behavior.
