[HoloLens] Voice commands stop working after App minimize/restore

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached "KeywordRecognizerBug.zip" project
2. Build the project to UWP
3. Deploy it to HL2 with Release and ARM64 settings
4. When the App is open say "test voice commands" -> see the output
5. Minimize the App -> say "test voice commands" again (if the output still appears - turn off and on the App again and start from the 4th step)

Expected result: Voice commands remain active
Actual result: Voice commands stop working

Reproducible with: 2019.4.16f1, 2020.1.17f1, 2020.2.0b14, 2021.1.0a9

Notes:
- The issue also occurs on HL1
- The issue did not occur on Debug Configuration
- Could not reproduce on 2018.4, because of project being broken

  1. Resolution Note (2021.2.X):

    This issue appears to be Windows API or OS bug as we're able to repro the problem using the Microsoft Speech Recognition samples:
    https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/SpeechRecognitionAndSynthesis.

    To work around the problem, the Speech Recognition objects (KeywordRecognizer, DictationRecognizer, etc.) should be re-initialized and restarted after the app is restored.

    After the voice commands stopped working, I was able to re-activate them by executing the following methods:

    PhraseRecognitionSystem.Shutdown();
    PhraseRecognitionSystem.Restart();
