Support background colors and borders on <Text> components

These are not available features of the UWP RichTextBlock implementation. This would have to be done in JavaScript to simulate, by putting a view behind the text. Of course, it would not support background colors of virtual text nodes.

I did use some time to try and implement a glow for text natively. I was successful for many elements, including simple text, but I think it was RichTextBlock which proved to be very complicated to implement it for. Basically required multiple different render operations combined to make a mask from which to generate the glow.

@Pokute any sample code or other details you'd like to share?

We are not investing in new features or lower priority bug fixes on vCurrent. The bulk of investment is now in vNext as we prepare to make that the default choice. If this issue is still relevant on the vNext implementation please open a vNext issue. If this issue is of significant severity for a vCurrent app and vNext is not an option, re-open with justification.
