[Linux] Implement Window::SetMinimumSize / SetMaximumSize #55
Description
Window::SetMinimumSize() and Window::SetMaximumSize() are stubs on Linux (src/platform/linux/window_linux.cpp), so min/max size constraints set through nativeapi have no effect there. The getters return whatever was stored.
Expected: enforce the constraints with gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() (GDK_HINT_MIN_SIZE / GDK_HINT_MAX_SIZE), combined with the aspect-ratio hints that SetAspectRatio() already sets. Otherwise one call would overwrite the other's hints. Check that:
- the constraints survive maximize → unmaximize
- they apply when set before the window is mapped
- they work with client-side decorations (the hints are in window-frame coordinates)
Background, from window_manager (which is moving onto nativeapi in 0.6.0):
- Not working maximum and minimum size for inital time in Linux leanflutter/window_manager#189: min/max size not applied (also #107, #422, #538)
- fix(linux): use gtk_window_set_geometry_hints instead of gdk_window_set_geometry_hints to enforce size limits leanflutter/window_manager#587: a PR that switched to
gtk_window_set_geometry_hints

Fixed in 10ac6fe (Linux) and 4ef0521 (Windows + tests).
SetAspectRatio, so setting one no longer clears the other. The public frame size is converted to the GDK surface (CSD shadows, server-side frames). Hints are refreshed after mapping and layout changes, deferred until GTK finishes its resize.WM_GETMINMAXINFOread the limits from theWindowRegistrywrapper, which may not be the instance that set them, so they could be silently ignored. The handler now reads the setter's state, and width and height can be bounded independently.Verified with the new desktop tests (no synthetic input):
window_size_constraints_linux_teston GNOME Wayland (36 checks), Xwayland (48), Xvfb/Openbox and Weston;window_size_constraints_windows_teston Windows (7). Also checked by hand withwindow_example(min 400×300, max 1000×700) on macOS, Windows and Linux.Window size constraints on Linux and Windows
