Proposal: Pre-emptive CalendarView visual refresh

Summary

image

With all the WinUI controls receiving visual refreshes, The CalendarView I think requires a serious refresh, as it looks very out of place with the cleaner and softer appearance of the other controls.

Rationale

Scope

Capability Priority
The control must be given a big visual refresh Must
The control's design should lead the way with FluentUI and Cross Platform controls following suit Should
This control's group headings should either be fixed, or only indicated with the different colour backgrounds Could

Important Notes

Open Questions

I am not entirely happy with the Group Headings for the start of the month with the day calendar - but I think its better than the current implementation.
