Change TextLabelControl to support DirectWrite

If Direct2d is enabled TextLabelControl will render using DirectWrite. Supports only some GDI flag conversion (didn't implement everything). I'm not particularly fond of the fact that you can't change vertical justification in GDI when you're using multiline, might just try to handle that by measuring then changing the location of the output rect.

Window now takes a Color for the background brush and will only allocate a brush if it really needs to. There is no great way to have Windows use a different background brush without creating a WindowClass for every single Window.

If Direct2D is enabled background painting is skipped. I'm considering making the Direct2D handling a MessageHandler which might make the experience tighter.

I hadn't fully internalized how HDC state works, but I think I have a better handle on it now. In order to simplify things I've changed DeviceContext for BeginPaint to save the DC state by default. Removed an effectively no-op setting in the Window constructor related to this.
