[Feature] Add ability to load from a Stream to the image cropper

[knightmeister]

Describe the problem

At the moment, the image cropper can only load from a file (via a StorageFile or path).

There are scenarios where loading from a stream is beneficial (i.e. when downloading from the web). It's obviously trivial to work around this, but given all LoadImageFromFile does is create a stream, why not just expose the stream?

Describe the solution

Create a new method called LoadImageFromStream and allow a stream to be used to load the file.

Seems like a good idea, in the meantime you should be able to just set the Source directly as the LoadImageFromFile is just a light-weight wrapper:

WindowsCommunityToolkit/Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls.Media/ImageCropper/ImageCropper.cs

Lines 373 to 382 in 7eed078

	public async Task LoadImageFromFile(StorageFile imageFile)
	{
	var writeableBitmap = new WriteableBitmap(1, 1);
	using (var stream = await imageFile.OpenReadAsync())
	{
	await writeableBitmap.SetSourceAsync(stream);
	}
	Source = writeableBitmap;
	}
