Subject: [PATCH] Fix #1758: keep the custom title bar window borderless on
 Windows

winit 0.30 gives an undecorated window WS_CAPTION | WS_BORDER; on some Windows
systems the compositor still reserves that frame, so the content is drawn
offset while the pointer isn't, and the cursor no longer points at what is under
its tip. Strip the two styles once and again each frame (winit restores them on
maximize/restore), as PhotoCraft does (storytold/photocraft#2401).

+//! Keeps the custom title bar's undecorated window truly borderless on Windows (#1758).
+//!
+//! winit 0.30 gives an undecorated window the `WS_CAPTION | WS_BORDER` styles and hides the
+//! non-client area by spreading the client rect over it (`WM_NCCALCSIZE`). On some systems the
+//! desktop compositor still reserves that frame for the window surface: the content is drawn
+//! offset by the caption and border while the pointer keeps the un-offset client coordinates, so
+//! it no longer points at what is drawn under it (rust-windowing/winit#2419; PhotoCraft fixed the
+//! same in storytold/photocraft#2401). [`service`] strips the two styles and has Windows
+//! recalculate the frame; winit puts them back whenever it changes the window flags (maximize,
+//! restore, …), so the returned guard runs every frame.
