Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Mostly similar to PR #1224. Added a new static method GenRTF in TextBuffer that is responsible
for generating the RTF representation of a given text. The generated RTF is added to the DataPackage that is ultimately passed to the clipboard.

Validation Steps Performed

Validated by copy pasting text from the terminal to WordPad. Validated with different colors to make sure that is working. (MS Word seems to prefer HTML data from the clipboard instead of RTF.)

Awesome! Thanks! I feel like there's a way to share code between GenHTML() and GenRTF() but I don't think that's worth blocking over. I created #3538 to track that.

Dustin L. Howett (MSFT) (@DHowett-MSFT) Thoughts on bringing this into ConHost too? I feel like that'd be a separate PR but definitely relevant.

[Dustin L. Howett (MSFT) (DHowett-MSFT)]

Yes, this will be cool for conhost.

[Mike Griese (zadjii-msft)]

This looks great to me. Thanks for doing this!

Anirudh Rayabharam (@anirudhrb) it looks like the code formatting check is failing - could you run tools\runformat in the root of the repo?

[Anirudh Rayabharam (anirudhrb)]

Yes, this will be cool for conhost.

Dustin L. Howett (MSFT) (@DHowett-MSFT) Carlos Zamora (@carlos-zamora) What needs to be done to bring this into conhost? Are you gonna create a new issue?

[Dustin L. Howett (MSFT) (DHowett-MSFT)]

Followup filed at #3560. No need to do it in this one. 😄
