Make UIFontWeightConstants & UIFont.GetFontWeight public

[tipa]

Actual Behavior

I am trying to create a "semi bold" variant of a custom font using this approach. However, it seems that the UIFontWeight constants are not public in Xamarin so I cannot use the underlying float value (which seems to be 0.30000001192092896f for UIFontWeightSemiBold).

Maybe you could also make this helper method publicly available that Xamarin uses internally to create a system font with a given UIFontWeight enum
