[BUG] libSkiaSharp.dll Requires d3d12.dll causing crashes on systems without DX12

[andrewmd5]

Description

There is a hard dependency on DX12 in the latest versions of SkiaSharp. After porting one of our legacy Win32 apps to use SkiaSharp, out of a sample of 1 million installations around 0.1% are crashing because their systems don't have DX12, alll mostly on Windows 10.

Code

This should be a runtime dependency that is dynamically loaded.

Expected Behavior

SkiaSharp loads the necessary DX12 libraries at runtime

Actual Behavior

It has a link time dependency which causes crashes on systems which aren't fully updated.

Version of SkiaSharp

3.116.0 (Current)

Last Known Good Version of SkiaSharp

2.88.9 (Previous)

While this is in reference to Windows 7, all of our crashes occur on Windows 10

Yeah, but the common theme is that they're on systems that don't support DX12 (the operating system version probably isn't that relevant), and the resolution would be the same. So this is still a duplicate.
