Description

The `ToastContentBuilder` of the previous `Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications` API had the ability to schedule toast notifications for a date/time using [ToastContentBuilder.Schedule](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.toolkit.uwp.notifications.toastcontentbuilder.schedule).

The `AppNotificationBuilder` and `AppNotificationManager` APIs of Windows App SDK do not offer such an Scheduling API yet. This gap should be closed.

Research direction

Start with the AppNotificationBuilder and AppNotificationManager entry points and review the linked discussions for the expected scheduling behavior. The work is complete when the Windows App SDK exposes an API that schedules toast notifications for a specified date and time.
