Description
This behavior broke
https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/pull/8551
The reason here is that the modal page is now nested inside a NavigationView so we need to set some backgrounds on the WindowRootView to transparent so the underlying view can shine through
Work started here

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the fix_winui_modal_transparent branch and the WindowRootView and NavigationView background handling described in the issue. Reproduce a Windows ModalPage with a transparent background, then verify that the underlying view is visible while the modal is shown.
