Proposal: Splitter control

Provide a splitter control to enable resizing multiple panes. It should be flexible and must work well with different kinds of layout panels such as Grid, SplitView etc...

Summary

Many apps tend to have layouts with multiple panes that can be resized by the user if they want to see more content in a pane. Today WinUI doesn't provide anything for that so the developer must create their own. Windows Community Toolkit has a GridSplitter control however I believe it only resizing between rows or columns in a Grid and doesn't work with other layout panels which isn't ideal. Also, WCT means it can be used only by Windows apps written in C# or Microsoft Visual Basic and not all Windows apps.
