Subject: [PATCH] Hide modal dialogs from the taskbar

Avalonia windows default to ShowInTaskbar=true, so every owned modal
dialog (Open from GAC/NuGet feed/running process, Manage Assembly
Lists, Export Project, Create List, Set Target Framework) got its own
taskbar button, which is not standard Windows behavior. The assertion
and crash dialogs intentionally keep their buttons so an interrupted
session stays easy to find.
