[Enhancement] Autofit Label

[felipebaltazar]

Summary

A label that grows/shrinks the font size to fit entire bounds

For Android we have this native API
For IOS we have this native API
For UWP we have this example:

Ive done a PR on Xamarin Forms for this:
xamarin/Xamarin.Forms#7981

Important this will need be a new control, since we need to change TextView to AppCompatTextView... More details here

API Changes

• (enum) AutoFitTextMode Label.AutoSizeMode{ get; set; } //Bindable Property
• double Label.MaxAutoFitSize { get; set;} //Bindable Property
• double Label.MinAutoFitSize {get; set;} //Bindable Property

Intended Use Case

Label to fit bounds and works as a responsive text

<AutoFitLabel AutoSizeMode="FitToWidth"/>

Who Will Do The Work?

• I am willing to take this on myself
• Just putting this out there for someone to pick up
