FB7868792: WindowGroup should cover the essentials on macOS

Description

The new WindowGroup has awesome potential, but it’s also missing a lot of common functionality, especially for making macOS apps.

Some common things it’s missing (for macOS):

  • Indicate that only one window is allowed. And hence disable the tab menu items. It doesn’t make sense for all apps to support multiple windows. Could be indicated using a modifier or using a SingleWindow scene view instead of WindowGroup.
  • Prevent fullscreen. Some apps doesn’t make sense in fullscreen. For example, a calculator. Basically, be able to set NSWindow#collectionBehavior.
  • Make the window movable by dragging anywhere in the window. (NSWindow#isMovableByWindowBackground)
  • Window aspect ratio. Some apps need to enforce a certain aspect ratio. Calculator, video player, etc.
  • Window level.
