[WPF] Polyline doc incorrect about Fill property

[davidbritch]

Issue description

https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/wpf/graphics-multimedia/how-to-draw-a-polyline-by-using-the-polyline-element?source=docs

The page above says that the Fill property of a Polyline has no effect, even when you close the shape. This is incorrect. The following code does fill a Polyline:

    <Grid>
        <Polyline Stroke="Black"
                  Fill="Red"
                  StrokeThickness="4"
                  Points="10,200,60,140,130,140,180,200" />
    </Grid>

It seems the the WPF behaviour is now identical to the UWP behaviour, where Polyline.Fill does paint the interior of the shape: https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/design/controls-and-patterns/shapes#-polyline

Target framework

Check the .NET target framework(s) being used, and include the version number(s).

I'll put a note in this article that it's different starting with .NET 5/Core. When this article gets migrated to .NET 5, I'll fix the wording completely. Thanks!
