Description of Change

This changes the way values are applied to BindableProperties. Behind the scenes, every value set is associated with a specificity, and each value is kept, allowing proper rollback when unapplying.

We still can refine the specificities, but here is how they're compared right now:

  • DefaultValue has the lowest priority
  • Everything coming from a Style is low priority
  • Binding, DynamicResource, Manual (in that order)
  • values set from VSM have a higher priority

then everything coming from the Handlers has a special priority. it is always applied, but is overridden by almost everything else

There are some new unit test showcasing what this does https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/13818/files#diff-a55f411e3279ac65c4d17ddf4f3596a307c697d7d18fe1e2d82c95ce6b7081a5R1011

This test deals with window resizing which isn't applicable to iOS. I updated the iOS tests a bit on this PR to always run inside a Modal View Controller. Because of that change these tests started failing because the iOS view isn't going to change size when you change the width/height on the window

Fixes: dotnet#17520

A customer noticed my LOLs per second sample was slower in .NET 8 than
.NET 7. I could reproduce their results.

Digging in, `dotnet-trace` showed one culprit was:

    .NET 7
     8.5% microsoft.maui.controls!Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject.GetValue
     1.2% microsoft.maui.controls!Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject.SetValue
    .NET 8
    11.0% microsoft.maui.controls!Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject.GetValue
     2.8% microsoft.maui.controls!Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject.SetValue

I knew that dotnet#13818 had some performance impact, as I noted when
reviewing the change.

Drilling in further, most of the time is spent calling
`SortedList.Last()`. Which makes sense, as `BindableObject.GetValue()`
is called *a lot* in a typical .NET MAUI application.

Adding some logging, I found my LOLs app most commonly had the following
specificity values when `BindableProperty`'s are set:

* 5,284 - a single specificity value
* 34,306 - two specificity values

No `BindableProperty`'s in this app had more than two specificity values.

So, an improvement here would be to:

* Avoid `SortedList` for the most common calls

* Make fields that store up to two specificity values

* If a *third* specificity value is required, fall back to using
`SortedList`.

I introduced a new, internal `SetterSpecificityList` class for this logic.

The results of running `BindingBenchmarker`:

    > .\bin\dotnet\dotnet.exe run --project .\src\Core\tests\Benchmarks\Core.Benchmarks.csproj -c Release -- --filter Microsoft.Maui.Benchmarks.BindingBenchmarker.*
