Description
# Description of the new feature/enhancement
When I summon quake window while using FancyZones it snaps to the same zone where main terminal window is located.
### Started fresh terminal instance:
### Summoned quake window:
To solve this problem I can exclude WindowsTerminal.exe from FancyZones, but this way I won't be able to manage regular terminal windows with FancyZones. It would be better if we could exclude only the quake window, but not the other ones.
# Proposed technical implementation details
As I understand, FancyZones uses application executable name for its Exclude rules (might be wrong, tho), thus it could be possible to create a separate executable for quake window, so we could exclude only this one. It's a dirty fix, but it can do the job if there is no other option.

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points; start by reading the FancyZones exclusion behavior and how Windows Terminal identifies its quake window. Done means the quake window can be excluded without preventing regular terminal windows from being managed by FancyZones, with the behavior verified in the relevant window-management tests.
