a way to get native Screen handle & rotation info

[maxkatz6]

At some point I wish we could unify Screens API with mobile, moving Screens property to TopLevel. It will also make more sense to add orientation property.

So, I assume something like this would be enough? cc @kekekeks

public class Screen
{
+     public IPlatformHandle? TryGetPlatformHandle();
}

Returning

• IntPtr platform handle from Monitor on Windows
  

  Avalonia/src/Windows/Avalonia.Win32/ScreenImpl.cs

  Line 33 in bca559b

  if (GetMonitorInfo(monitor, ref monitorInfo))

• NScreen object IntPtr handle from macOS
  

  Avalonia/native/Avalonia.Native/src/OSX/Screens.mm

  Line 32 in b4ddce6

  auto screen = [[NSScreen screens] objectAtIndex:index];

• And I assume X11Monitor Name on X11?
  

  Avalonia/src/Avalonia.X11/X11Structs.cs

  Line 1899 in bca559b

  public IntPtr Name;

Where in all cases it can be a IntPtr wrapped in a PlatformHandle. HandleDescriptor needs to be unique for these types though. Like "HMONITOR" for windows, and "NScreen" on mac (needs to be double checked what we used for NSWindow).
