Add Dependency Injection support in SkinObject

[tvatavuk]

Description of problem

In DNN skin control code developer need clean and simple way to get services registered with DNN9 DI.

Description of solution

In DNN WebForms module we use ServiceProvider from PortalModuleBase.DependencyProvider. Expected solution will be expanding SkinObjectBase with same DependencyProvider property.

Description of alternatives considered

Something simmilar to this ugly, hacky workaround :-(

IServiceProvider ServiceProvider => ((IServiceScope)HttpContextSource.Current.Items[typeof(IServiceScope)]).ServiceProvider;

Additional context

Developing code that use dependencies registered in DNN9 DI, but without DNN9 DI is not nice. Expanding SkinObjectBase API with DependencyProvider looks as best solution/workaround in this moment, until constructor injection become reality.

Thx @bdukes for showing me dnn DI extension methods that can simplify code above.

IServiceScope currentScope = HttpContext.Current.GetScope();
IServiceProvider serviceProvider = HttpContext.Current.GetScope().ServiceProvider;

In https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform/issues/4955#issuecomment-1033428800 is example code that can be used in Skin Object also. It is from 2sxc documentation - Depedency Injection in Dnn Skins and Modules. Thx @iJungleboy 👍
