Disabling a MenuBarItem doesn't stop its sub-items from appearing when clicked

[andyjohnson0]

Description

If a top-level MenuBarItem, with sub-items, has its IsEnabled property set to false then the sub-items still appear when the menu bar item is clicked. This is contrary to expectation. Verified on Windows only.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a File->New .NET Maui app

2. In MainPage.xaml add a top-level menu with a single subitem by adding the following after the start of the <ContentPage> element and before the start of its nested <ScrollView> element:

    <ContentPage.MenuBarItems>
        <MenuBarItem Text="File">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Exit" />
        </MenuBarItem>
    </ContentPage.MenuBarItems>

3. In MainPage.xaml.cs add an OnAppearing() method to the MainPage class and disable the top-level MenuBarItem :

	protected override void OnAppearing()
	{
		base.OnAppearing();
		MenuBarItems[0].IsEnabled = false;
	}

4. Run the app and click the File menu. The dropdown still appears.
