v1.3.0: Statusbar Color, GravatarImageSource, FadeAnimation and bugfixes!

There is too much good stuff going on in this release! Thanks to @GeorgeLeithead we now have the GravatarImageSource also available in the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit. And @bijington added a pre-built FadeAnimation that you can now use on all of your .NET MAUI elements.

Last but not least, our very own @pictos, with big help from @KSemenenko, has implemented the Status Bar color functionality. With this you can easily change your color of the status bar at runtime! I know a lot of people were waiting for this one...

One thing to still mention, our newest core team member @kphillpotts has made his first contribution here too 🙌

Also lots of bugfixes and other improvements, see the full list below. As always: big thanks to everyone that helped make this happen! 🥰
