Use `.rc` files in TSM instead of string literals (#16844)

More prerequisite work for Action IDs - turns out if we add the action
IDs to the actions defined in `defaults.json` the string ends up being
too large and the compiler complains about it. Use a `.rc` file for
`defaults.json` instead and also for `enableColorSelection.json` +
`userDefaults.json`.
