Steps To Reproduce

Provide a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue.

1. Add react-native-linear-gradient module to RNW app running on 0.63 (RN Gallery App)
2. Try to build app...build fails. Module is not compatible with RNW 0.63.

Notes

Currently react-native-linear-gradient is built on RNW 0.60 using C#. Spoke with @jonthysell. Module was written for the legacy C#-only React Native Windows module - it needs to be re-written to be used by the current RNW. It must run on at least RNW 0.62, remove any reflection (the default with C# modules), and not depend on any nuget packages. Doesn't look like too complicated of a module but the module is targeting 0.60.5 for ios/android and so the repo maintainers may not want to upgrade.

The existing implementation supports the now deprecated WPF implementation of RNW and the C# RNW UWP.

Closing this module request as not in plan. Not that this module shouldn't receive a Windows implementation, but it makes more sense to track that request on the module's repo rather this repo.
