Make Windows 10 styles the default

[Nuklon]

Currently, some of the components are shipped with an optional Windows 10 style (toggleswitch/slider). Given that the majority now runs Windows 10, I think it would make sense to use these as default (and perhaps the older styles as a 'legacy' style).

Should we make a project to track this? There are a lot of loose issues that cover Win10-related theming or style changes and it may be helpful to have some sort of organization.

I think the simplest solution to make all Win10 styles the default might be:

1. Rename Controls.xaml to Controls.Legacy.xaml
2. Create new Controls.xaml with the following content:

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Controls.Legacy.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Metro:ToggleSwitch}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Styles.ToggleSwitch.Win10}" />
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Metro:ToggleSwitchButton}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Styles.ToggleSwitchButton.Win10}" />
<!-- repeat above with all other Win10 styles in existence -->

The result would be - anyone using the Controls.xaml dictionary (which i think is anyone using MahApps) would automatically have their UI modernized to Win10 Styles if/when they update to the new version, and anyone wanting to stay with the old styles could either old off updating or just change Controls.xaml to Controls.Legacy.xaml

If i have the time i might be able to try my hand at making a PR of this over the weekend if this is an option that can be accepted as the fix for this
