Create ToImageSource() method similar to ToBitmapSource() to support WinAppSDK Images

[TheJoeFin]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

In my app Simple Icon File Maker opening different image types can cause errors if they are unsupported by WinAppSDK by default, but ImageMagick. Does support them but to load the image into Image Magick and back to the Image.Source take more work. The WPF method ToBitmapSource is amazing for this solution and I'd love to have the same option for my WinAppSDK apps.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to set the Source of an Image using a single method .ToImageSource() which is a method on MagickImage

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can do it with Byte Arrays or saving to a file and loading again, but that is inefficient and extra work for no extra value. The WPF method is the best experience updating it for WinAppSDK would be ideal.

Additional context

The error I get when trying to use .ToBitmapSource() is

CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type ‘System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource’ to ‘Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.ImageSource'

Hello Dirk Lemstra

I would like to work on this issue. First, it will be necessary to create an extra project, as MAUI supports multiple targets, such as net8.0-android, net8.0-ios, and net8.0-maccatalyst.

Suggested name: Magick.NET.Maui
Extension: IMagickImageExtensions
Method: ToImageSourceAsync

Convert MagickImage to Microsoft.Maui.Controls.ImageSource

Let me know your thoughts.

This issue is about the WinAppSDK and not MAUI?

I don't mind if we also add a MAUI implementation but that would be a different implementation that what this issue was raised for. That library should be called Magick.NET.MicrosoftMauiControls to have the same style as the other projects.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. If you allow me, I would like to work on both of them. First, I will start with the MicrosoftMauiControls implementation because I need to use it in my personal project.

Have you made any progress with this @rubenscordeirobr?
