DesktopDialogs

Remarks

SDL 2 ships no file dialog — SDL 3 added one, and the version of Silk.NET this repository pins binds SDL 2 (see the README). A picker is also the one dialog that most needs to be the platform's own, since it carries the user's places, tags, cloud providers and, inside a sandbox, the permission to read what was picked. Writing a drawn substitute here would be strictly worse than the per-OS implementations docs/plan/02 already reserves a project for, so the methods return "nothing chosen" until those exist.

Message boxes are implemented properly, including the button sets, because SDL's are the OS's own and they are what a fatal-error path needs before there is a renderer to draw with.
