When copying and pasting stacks from PerfView into a GitHub issue, most lines start with + which GitHub interprets as bulleted list items instead of being part of the same table. This causes the pasted data to render incorrectly.

This PR modifies the clipboard formatting to add:

  1. A leading | character to the first column of each row
  2. A trailing | character to the last column of each row

With these changes, GitHub correctly renders the pasted content as a markdown table rather than as a bulleted list.

The changes are minimal and focused on the clipboard formatting functionality in the CopyingRowClipboardContent event handler within PerfDataGrid.xaml.cs. The implementation preserves existing functionality like content compression and column padding while ensuring consistent formatting across header rows and data rows.

Fixes #940.

With this change, copy and paste from a stack view looks like this:

Great. I love seeing how Copilot can increase capacity to get github issues resolved too. What a treat.
