We need such dialogs in the unit lazarus/lcl/lazdialogs.pas

Note that we need 2 version of each dialog: 1 for desktops and 1 for
mobiles. I wrote so far only mobile dialogs, so your dialogs are very
welcome =) Please make a proper patch for the unit lazdialogs.pas

Note that although the dialogs might have extra functionality (which
can be set via something), the focus should be in being as standard as
possible, just like Qt or Gtk2 dialogs in X11.

No, it is not know. But you can first send a patch for lazdialogs and
then we can see about this problem.

lazdialogs should be totally not specific to customdrawn. It should be
usable with all other widgetsets too, so we can solve these 2 issues
separately.
