Always On Top: Dedup the alwaysontop command id in window system menu (#45845)

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
We picked a command id for always on top, although it has little
possibility, but may collide with other window system menu item, so
before inject, try to see if it persists, if yes, then we don't inject.
