Proposal: ApplicationViewMode.CompactOverlay max-size should be increased

Summary

Right now with that application view mode user can't change size to value bigger than 500x500.

Rationale

With Win32 API it is possible to create "top most" window without such limitation.
Edge on Chromium and Chrome also allow opening video in "picture in picture" mode with 700x520 maximum.

Scope

| Capability | Priority |
| :---------- | :------- |
| Allow max size greater than 500x500 for CompactOverlay view mode | Must |
| Allow configuring min/max size with SetPreferredMinSize per view mode | Should |

Notes

500x500 should remain as default max size, as it seems as preferred for most users.

Open Questions

Not sure, if it is limited on WinRT API level on Windows.UI level.
Feel free to move this issue to ProjectReunion repository, if it should be there.

It could be at least 1/4 of screen space.

Yeah I agree with fsclientdev. 500x500 window is too small for the modern 2.5k or 4k monitors.
