NativeCookieHandler does nothing (just throws) on Windows

[ncruces]

I'm using ModernHttpClient with Refit on iOS, Android and Windows, to implement an API that requires cookies.

The NativeMessageHandler facade is perfectly usable on Windows (as long as you don't need throwOnCaptiveNetwork, RegisterForProgress, etc). NativeCookieHandler, OTOH, is useless.

Right now, I have to do this to set a cookie:

NativeCookieHandler cookies;
NativeMessageHandler handler;

(...)

try
{
    cookies.SetCookies(Enumerable.Repeat(cookie, 1));
}
catch
{
    handler.CookieContainer.Add(uri, cookie);
}

Something like #175 would fix this, but it was rejected. I don't think creating a new "platform" is necessary (if that's why it was rejected).

Would a PR implementing this under the Portable project be considered? So instead of facades, you'd have a minimally useful (portable) implementation of NativeCookieHandler (and, eventually, some of the additional NativeMessageHandler features).
