Description
### Windows Terminal version
_No response_
### Windows build number
_No response_
### Other Software
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
Create double-height text and then use it to write a line longer than the width of the current console window/pane
### Expected Behavior
that it would wrap into another double-height line
### Actual Behavior
It actually breaks the double-height line into two and ruins the effect, and then wraps the remainder twice as single height lines
Perhaps the wrapped text of a "big" line can be buffered and if it matches the wrapped text of the next line and that line is also "big", then a new "big" line can be created with the wrapped text and inserted after?

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the issue by creating double-height text and writing a line longer than the console width, then trace the wrapping behavior for double-height lines. Done means the overflow wraps into another double-height line without splitting the effect or producing duplicate single-height lines.
