Description

As a part of a workaround for https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/3945 we have introduced a manual call to StartBringIntoView (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/8832).

We would like to cleanup this code, once the fix is introduced in the TabView. There is already a PR for the upstream issue here: https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/pull/3966.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check if the upstream WinUI fix (PR #3966) has been merged. If so, remove the manual StartBringIntoView call and related code from the Terminal codebase. Verify that TabView behavior works correctly without the workaround.
