Adds `WindowExtWindows::set_cloaked` and `WindowAttributesWindows::with_cloaked` to hide a window from the user while it is still composed by DWM.

Summary
Adds Windows window cloaking support via the
DWMWA_CLOAKDWM attribute. Cloaking hides a window from the user while it is still composed by DWM (unlike hiding/minimizing), which is useful for things like off-screen rendering, thumbnails, and smooth show/hide without flicker.API
WindowExtWindows::set_cloaked(&self, cloaked: bool)— toggle cloaking on an existing window.WindowAttributesWindows::with_cloaked(self, cloaked: bool)— request cloaking at creation time.Not supported on Windows 7 and earlier.
Needed this for one of my projects - would be nice to get it merged to upstream.
