Autofill hints for IText views

[coen22]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to discuss a proposal for autofill in MCT. For that I've already opened an issue and demonstrated some working code from Xamarin Forms, which also works in MAUI. #373

As @brminnick suggested it would be better to use behaviours (instead of the current effect implementation).
So I think it would be a good idea to implement similarly to TintColorBehavior
The AutofilBehaviour could extend from Behaviour<IText>.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

@coen22 thanks for this idea, it sounds great. I wonder did you manage to answer your question on whether there is any support for this on Windows? We aim to make sure that features added will be functional on all platforms before we proceed.

As far as I can find, this is currently only a feature supported in Edge.

Hey @coen22! Have you had a try at redoing the API Proposal for IText + Behavior?

If you paste it here we can iterate on it a bit before pushing it to the Proposal.

I'm writing a new version of the proposal and I'll post it here once it's done.

I've implemented a first draft of the behaviour. I tried to use the same code style, but the shared class doesn't have '.shared' in it. Also, I need to document a bit, but it's pretty straightforward. Would love to hear what you think. Archive.zip

@brminnick it seems to work, however not within a Shell. Not all fields are filled, but it's up to the autofill provider. On iOS and macOS some things need to be fixed.
