[XF] Add the ability to switch tabs

[brianlagunas]

Description

When you are within a TabbedPage, it is sometimes necessary to change tabs, but not actually navigate to another page. Simply select a different tab in the same TabbedPage. It would be helpful to pass parameters and respect the INavigationAware and IConfirmaNavigation interfaces so I can control if I am allows to switch tabs, and have access to various parameters as I change tabs.

API Spec

I am thinking of adding a new extension method for the INavigationSevice called SelectTab. In order to access this method, you would add a new namespace to your ViewModel.

using Prism.Navigation.TabbedPages

with the namespace added you wil be abls to select a new tab with

navigationService.SelectTab("tabName", parameters)

This has been implemented and is available in the latest CI build on our MyGet feed.

When will this be available in the stable NuGet package?
I'm sorry @brianlagunas I am not sure where to get that CI build.
I tried this but I am not able to install it:

Thanks, if i am not mistaken, does the latest version require the pre-release of Xamarin.Forms?
