Subject: [PATCH] [macOS] Add NativeDock.Menu API for adding menu items to
 macOS dock icon (#20634)

* Native DockMenu code

* Add Native Interop

* Update ControlCatalog sample

* Add unit tests

* Add Action<IAvnMenu> to AvaloniaNativeMenuExporter

* Add dynamic dock item demo

* Move s_dockMenu reference to App

* Use Appium tests

* Revert INativeMenuExporterResetHandler

* Properly set the button for the checkbox

* Add dock test

* I hate Appium

* Rename NativeMenu.DockMenu to NativeDock.Menu

* Make static

* Remove Dock Click Test

* Add white space back for cleaner diff

* Reduce MenuExporter back to one

* Revert UpdateIfNeeded to private

* Revert QueueReset to private too... and fix some whitespace

* Revert IAvnMenuItem/IAvnMenu back

* That's what I get not comparing it to master

* And update this too

* Add documentation
