Switch from tao to winit

[jkelleyrtp]

Feature Request

Winit is a generally more supported windowing library than tao, and the tauri folks are trying to move off tao to winit. We should make the jump to unlock things like

• compatibility with blitz
• Render dioxus-desktop (wry) into a wgpu surface #892
• better mobile support (eventually...)

FWIW, I'd been using winit for message dialogs (via native_dialogs) in to Dioxus 0.4 app for a while. This worked fine. I've since updated to 0.6. Message dialogs continue to work fine on macOS, but not on windows (dialog never displays and app hangs). If the plans to switch to winit would improve this situation, maybe factor that into your priority assignment.

I didn't know about that
Could you provide a reference link to such discussion?
