Provide Webview2 for other platforms like Linux

[santoshsampath]

For developers who write apps across platforms, it is useful to have a common webview across platforms.

Edge Webview runtime is a good solution if it was available and updated regularly like a browser.
This not only provides latest modern browsing engine but also allows auto updates and also lets other apps use the common shared runtime.

Alternate:

• Use platform webview on each which causes lots of differences. For Linux it is mostly WebkitGTK
• Cef but the packaging is done by individual app vendor. It becomes harder for enterprises to update engine when there are security issues.

I am not sure if this was already requested.

Thanks for the request @santoshsampath! We are tracking Linux support in #645 and MacOS support in #1314.

WebView2 for Linux will allow us to build electron-like applications for all platforms buidling on C#.
