Description

What would you like to be added

A feedback from some of the users from Update conf was that we should add some setting to be able to Keep screen on when using Debug mode and testing the application. This would be a nice feature to add to Uno Settings, if possible.

Why is this needed

Research direction
Look into how Uno currently handles platform specific features, likely in the src/platform directory. For Android, use PowerManager.WakeLock; for iOS, set UIApplication.IdleTimerDisabled. Add a setting in Uno's configuration that toggles this behavior when in debug mode. Check if any existing issues or PRs discuss this.
