CanvasLayout

Tracking Issue: #213

Problem Statement

Canvas is great for general layout of objects (think PowerPoint), but is not virtualized.

Also see CanvasView #310

Inspiration

Originally built CanvasView, but realized maybe ItemsRepeater could do something here easily?

Proposed Solution

Created a basic prototype around an ItemsRepeater layout.

Open Questions

• Seems to have different issues on each platform with Scroll Behavior
• Need better understanding from platform docs on implementing ItemsRepeater layouts
• Need better structure for storing item locations for virtualization, see discussion Adding an acceleration structure to CanvasLayout #219

API Reference Docs

• ItemsRepeater
