Window Widgets / Non-native Windows #254

Not sure if that is already on the roadmap, but it would be great if iced could provide window and message box widgets that are drawn in a existing native window.

This would be useful for fullscreen applications or apps that use custom styling like games.

Dialogs are indeed on the roadmap afaik, but they would need layers to be implemented first.

A window or message box is essentially a pane. I noticed iced now has a PaneGrid, but no standalone Pane or Card widget.

I know there is a Card widget in iced_aw, but iced_aw has a hard time keeping up with iced's master branch.

It seems like most of the code for a standalone Pane widget is already in pane_grid. Was there just no time to add that feature or is there a technical reason it does not exist?
