For sample MAUI projects that don't set UseMaui=true, we need to instead set DefaultXamlRuntime=true for Visual Studio intellisense and XAML hot reload to work.

This fix is for MAUI devs that edit and debug sample projects in Visual Studio (like
Maui.Controls.Sample.Sandbox).Those sample projects normally don't set
UseMaui=truesince control library projects are referenced directly in the solution. We need to instead setDefaultXamlRuntime=Mauiin order for Visual Studio intellisense and XAML hot reload to work. VS uses eitherUseMauiorDefaultXamlRuntimeto determine the XAML runtime.
