settings ui: Add text field support to ui layer (#37868)

This is an initial implementation that isn't used for any settings yet,
but will be used once `Vec<String>` is implemented.

I also updated the window.with_state api to grant access to a
`Context<S>` app reference instead of just an App.

## Example
