However, since Windows 10 has introduced thin visual window borders, the window manager adds an invisible border of a few pixels around the window to make it easier to resize the window. Since `GetWindowRect` returns the window size _including_ these invisible borders, the location and size of a `Stage` isn't exactly what we'd expect.

If this function fails, we fall back to `GetWindowRect` (now, I don't know why `DwmGetWindowAttribute(DWMA_EXTENDED_FRAME_BOUNDS)` would ever fail... maybe an old Windows version in a remote desktop scenario?).

I've looked at every call to `GetWindowRect` and, where appropriate, replaced it with `GetExtendedFrameBounds`.
In addition to that, I also tested the case when JavaFX is running in a DPI-unaware process. I've added code that detects this situation and applies the correct mapping from physical coordinates into virtualized coordinates.
