The challenge is that the existing "AnimationsEnabled" setting is a boolean,
i.e. it can only be true or false, which doesn't provide the flexibility we'd
need when we want to allow explicitly using or overriding the system-provided
value in addition.

Could it make sense to replace that with a new setting that would allow setting
either of "Enabled"/"Disabled"/"Automatic" instead, with the latter being the
default?
That would be similar to what we have for Light/Dark mode in "View" ->
"Appearance" -> "Mode", or for "Accessibility" -> "High Contrast".

Adding the design team: Any thoughts/suggestions?
