Windows: Fullscreen mode is borderless window, not exclusive fullscreen #717

Description

@Osspial

In exclusive fullscreen mode, the Window completely takes over drawing to a monitor and doesn't allow other windows to draw on that monitor, while the current mode just draws the window over the taskbar and without borders. Winit should definitely expose both modes, but the current API may be a bit misleading.

Where does this stand versus other operating systems? Do the other backends fully take over rendering to the monitor, or just draw over all other elements on the screen?
