Description
### Describe the bug
Pressing the ENTER key in one of the entry of the window's system menu is also triggering the action associated to the focused XAML element.
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1. Launch the WinUI 3 gallery application
2. Open the "Button" page
3. Focus one of the sample button
4. Press ALT+SPACE to open the window's system menu
5. Highlight the maximize entry
6. Press ENTER
### Actual behavior
The window is maximized _and_ the button is pressed.
We can see the "You clicked: Button1" message in the sample output.
### Expected behavior
The window is maximized *and* the button is *not* pressed.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the WinUI 3 Gallery application's Button page by focusing a sample button, opening the window system menu with Alt+Space, and activating Maximize with Enter. Trace the relevant window system-menu and XAML keyboard handling entry points; done means the window maximizes without also invoking the focused button action.
