Description

This idea came from this ticket, which turned out to be a new .NET behavior:
https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit/issues/3677

Basically would like to see a toggle/checkbox styled for `ToolBar`. Meaning, it looks just like a single-item `MaterialDesignToolToggleListBox` looks today. When unselected, just make it look flat as the rest of the `ToolBar`.

Not sure what's better for base, a `ToggleButton` or a `CheckBox`. I'm also not super proficient in styling on such low level so I would appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.
