Essentials - MediaPicker add method to select multiple images
See original GitHub issueDescription
Currently for images/photos, there is MediaPicker class with PickPhotoAsync and CapturePhotoAsync methods available.
PickPhotoAsync only selects 1 image at a time from gallery.
However, for FilePicker, there is PickMultipleAsync method available.
It should be possible to select multiple images, too.
Temporary workaround:
- probably via
FilePicker.PickMultipleAsyncwith some image types restriction but that is unneccessary complexity
Public API Changes
MediaPicker class: add PickMultiplePhotosAsync or similar method
Intended Use-Case
pick multiple images from gallery

It would also be nice to have a CapturePhotosAsync to take multiple photos without closing the camera
This is needed and was available in the Xamarin forms essentials, not sure why this has been left out but its a key feature that many apps rely on.
