[Feature] Microcharts for WinUI 3

[michael-hawker]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. WinUI 3 is the lifted version of the UWP UI Framework. It has been released and has packages available on NuGet. ShipSharp also has a compatible package for it as well here.

Describe the solution you'd like It'd be great to have this awesome charting library available for WinUI 3 as well.

Additional context It should align well with the MAUI PR #280 as MAUI uses WinUI 3 for rendering on Windows.

We do plan on supporting MAUI once it's released, it's on our radar 😊

@eman1986 I know there's a MAUI issue here #189. This is for WinUI 3 which is already been releasing supported versions. https://aka.ms/winui3#windows-ui-3-library (and something MAUI depends on).

FYI @anawishnoff - are you tracking third-party libs with/without WinUI 3 support?

[eman1986]

Yeah sorry my bad, I saw Maui in the description and went from there. I think this is a good idea.

Definitly would love to see WinUI support aswell :)

Pending official WinUI 3 support from this repo itself, the SkiaSharp WinUI view seems to work well for displaying Microchart charts. I have a working example here around a simple ChartCanvas control.

I created pull request #326 to add Uno Platform support and in doing so added WinUI 3 support too.

@peterfoot added a comment on the PR, #325 added initial WinUI 3 support as well, so that PR needs to be merged, fixed, or exclude that first.
