Rust + Windows Composition and WinUI experiments and samples

Currently just contains a basic sample that uses Windows.UI.Composition to draw some squares in a Win32 window. Its code should show both the capabilities of our winrt-rust projection and what it's still missing (e.g., because we don't yet support WinRT inheritance, using Composition subclasses like SpriteVisual requires extra calls to query_interface and unsafe transmute)

• Requires Rust nightly

• Currently depends on the experimental combase-macro branch of winrt-rust: https://github.com/contextfree/winrt-rust/tree/combase-macro . You can clone it locally with

git clone https://github.com/contextfree/winrt-rust.git -b combase-macro

You'll need to run this from rust-winui-experiments's parent directory, so it gets cloned into a sibling directory (e.g. /repos/winrt-rust and /repos/rust-winui-experiments)

Some of this code (the window.rs and window_events.rs files) is derived from the winit project
