SurfaceLoader fails in WinUI because of unsupported API usage

Describe the bug

In the latest Toolkit from Jan 24 (8.0.240109), SurfaceLoader fails to create a brush, and it will always return null on WinUI 3.

This is because the private SurfaceLoader.LoadSurfaceBrushAsync method unconditionally calls DisplayInformation.GetForCurrentView(). https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Windows/blob/2735c8718984daa2ddee7a5aa9235f57bead0df7/components/Media/src/Helpers/SurfaceLoader.cs#L103 This is not supported on WinUI 3 and throws a COMException. This exception gets handled, but an empty/null brush will always be returned.

Steps to reproduce

// The Uri does not matter, it throws before loading anything.
_ = await SurfaceLoader.LoadImageAsync(new Uri("https://example.com"), CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Media.DpiMode.DisplayDpiWith96AsLowerBound);

// The exception is handled so it will return `null`.

Expected behavior

No exception is expected.

The old-7.1 winUI branch worked for me. On that branch this dpi issue was commented out:

Additional context

It might be tempting to think that this is the same issue as #233, however it is not. This is about 10 lines further into SurfaceLoader and this wasn't fixed by #299 in the latest update.
