FB14887376: `AppStore.requestReview(in:)` is not a complete alternative to the deprecated `SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()`

Description

SKStoreReviewController.requestReview() is deprecated in favor of AppStore.requestReview(in:). The problem is that AppStore.requestReview(in:) requires passing in a NSViewController, and in some contexts, this is not possible. For example, a menu bar app that only has a NSMenu when you click it. It has no NSViewController that could be passed in. I suggest making the controller parameter optional.

Also part of manual request review stoped work in macOS 15.

It is alternative, but it DOES NOT WORK even if it is not marked as deprecated functionality.
