fix: Shape stretch UniformToFill vertical alignment issue on Skia

[Copilot]

Fixes vertical alignment not working correctly for shapes with Stretch.UniformToFill on Skia platforms.

Issue

When using shapes (like Ellipse) with Stretch="UniformToFill" and vertical alignment properties (VerticalAlignment="Bottom", Center, etc.), the vertical alignment was being ignored on Skia platforms, while working correctly on WinUI.

For example, this XAML would not position the ellipse at the bottom of its container on Skia:

<Grid Width="150" Height="150" BorderBrush="Green" BorderThickness="1">
    <Ellipse Width="300" Stretch="UniformToFill"
             HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Fill="Red" />
</Grid>

Root Cause

The issue was in the MeasureRelativeShape method in Shape.layout.cs. For the UniformToFill stretch case, the method was returning new Size(width, height), but WinUI's behavior requires returning new Size(width, width) instead.

This difference matters because:

• The layout system uses the measured size to determine how much space is available for alignment
• When both dimensions are the same, the layout system can properly apply vertical alignment by positioning the shape within its allocated space
• The original code prevented vertical alignment from working because the height dimension wasn't being forced to match the width

Solution

Changed the return statement in the UniformToFill case from:

return new Size(width, height);

To:

return new Size(width, width);

This matches WinUI's behavior and ensures that vertical alignment properties work correctly while maintaining the uniform scaling behavior of UniformToFill.

Testing

• Added a focused test When_Ellipse_Stretch_UniformToFill_VerticalAlignment_Should_Work() that validates proper vertical alignment behavior
• Verified existing functionality remains intact with successful builds across the platform
• Tested SamplesApp integration to ensure no regressions

The fix is minimal and surgical, addressing only the specific alignment issue without affecting other shape stretching behaviors.
