Updates the Windows docs for NativeScript/windows#21:

  • Extending classes and implementing interfaces: rewritten. It covers WinRT and .NET classes, class syntax and extend(), super, constructor arguments, interfaces, @NativeClass / ES5 output and global.__native(this), and lifetime. The build-time proxy description and the "experimental, prefer composition" warning are removed.
  • Native code: C# files in App_Resources/Windows/src and plugin platforms/windows are compiled into the app and usable by namespace. NuGet namespaces no longer need registerNamespace. Tasks are awaitable; JS functions can be passed for delegates and plain objects for structs; .NET events use add_/remove_.
  • Marshalling: background-thread callbacks now run on the UI thread. The "Don't change the UI during layout" crash warning is removed. Static events are assigned on the class.
  • Multithreading: Windows callback delivery now matches iOS/Android. A callback runs on the UI thread or worker that created it, whichever thread invokes it. The page notes the deadlock caveat.
  • Marshalling: boxed Object values (for example Tag) read back as JS primitives.

Targets chore/windows, the branch that adds the Windows docs.

- Extending WinRT and .NET classes: class syntax, extend(), super, constructor
  arguments, interfaces, @NativeClass/ES5 output, lifetime; no build step.
- C# sources in App_Resources/Windows and plugin platforms/windows are compiled
  into the app and reachable by namespace; NuGet namespaces need no
  registration; Tasks are awaitable; JS functions and plain objects for
  delegates and structs.
- Background-thread callbacks run on the UI thread; the layout-mutation crash
  warning is gone; static events on class constructors.
