Description
Tabs currently create their context flyout menu items in a big create function. It would be nice to convert that into a custom XAML control so that the more menu items we decide to add to the flyout, the easier it will be to manage. We should also design it in a way where different types of tabs (i.e. SettingsUI tab vs TerminalTab) can choose what menu items they would like to use.

Research direction
Start at the function that creates the tabs' context flyout menu items and review how SettingsUI and TerminalTab currently differ. Done means the flyout is represented by a custom XAML control and different tab types can select which menu items they use.
