Description

Is there currently any way to programmatically set/get the zoom level/factor of a window? I believe the electron side exposes a zoom API on the webFrame, but the BrowserWindow and WebContents classes currently don't provide any possibility to use it.

I understand that this might not be a very urgent feature, but it would be great to have nonetheless. Likewise, I would also gladly accept any alternative solution to get this to work.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Electron API for webFrame.setZoomFactor and webFrame.getZoomFactor, and determine how to expose them via the .NET bindings for BrowserWindow or WebContents. Look at existing API mappings in the Electron.NET source code for patterns.
