Description
### What is the problem or limitation you are having?
I am porting a tkinter app to toga,
and had been using `tkinter.simpledialog.askstring`
to prompt for input,
and i could not find any equivalent in toga.
### Describe the solution you'd like
A dialog with a TextInput or a way to make custom dialogs.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
subclassing `toga.Window.factory.dialogs.ConfirmDialog`,
putting the `TextInput` and ok/cancel buttons in the main window
### Additional context
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading Toga's Window.factory.dialogs.ConfirmDialog and the TextInput widget, then compare them with tkinter.simpledialog.askstring. The issue is resolved when Toga supports a text-input dialog or a documented way to create custom dialogs with text input and OK/cancel actions.
