v1.3.0: Statusbar Color, GravatarImageSource, FadeAnimation and bugfixes!

There is too much good stuff going on in this release! Thanks to George Leithead we now have the GravatarImageSource also available in the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit. And Shaun Lawrence added a pre-built FadeAnimation that you can now use on all of your .NET MAUI elements.

Last but not least, our very own Pedro Jesus, with big help from @KSemenenko, has implemented the Status Bar color functionality. With this you can easily change your color of the status bar at runtime! I know a lot of people were waiting for this one…

One thing to still mention, our newest core team member Kym Phillpotts has made his first contribution here too 🙌

Also lots of bugfixes and other improvements, see the full list below. As always: big thanks to everyone that helped make this happen! 🥰
