Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
From https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/47506#issuecomment-4675342517
> The latest versions of the underlying Mages engine do support complex numbers, but I believe our front-end parser and results interpreter currently do not, which is why the error message is displayed.

>Please feel free to request this under a separate issue.
### Scenario when this would be used?
I want to do calculations with complex numbers and be able to show results containing complex numbers

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the PowerToys Run calculator entry point and trace how its front-end parser and results interpreter interact with the Mages engine. Check the existing handling of calculation expressions and displayed results, then verify that complex-number calculations and returned complex values work without the current error.
