Description

* .NET Core Version: 7.0.0-preview.2.22152.2
* Windows version: 22581.1.amd64fre.ni_release.220318-1623
* Does the bug reproduce also in WPF for .NET Framework 4.8?: Yes

**Problem description:**

The `OpenFileDialog` ignores the `ShowReadOnly` property on the Vista code path.

**Actual behavior:**

No check box in the dialog.

**Expected behavior:**

A check box in the dialog as per documentation.

A dropdown option on the Open button would also be acceptable:

**Minimal repro:**

```C#
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
ofd.ShowReadOnly = true;
ofd.ShowDialog();
```
