Description

I've added a performance mode to some of the conhost.feature.tests.dll tests and managed to ensure that they do work with the WinPerf infrastructure.

Now I need to finish up and get this running in an automated fashion. I'm pretty sure that WinPerf and the Windows Performance backend services are going to remain private, but that won't necessarily stop us from having an internal build that can orchestrate these and submit bugs that we can then pull back out to GitHub.

Research direction

Start by locating the performance mode in conhost.feature.tests.dll and reviewing how it currently works with WinPerf. Then investigate how an internal build could orchestrate these tests and submit bugs through the Windows Performance backend services. Done means the performance tests run automatically and their results can be submitted and retrieved.
