Backport of #47836
Fixes #46789

Customer Impact

Customer reported a GDI resource leak in their WinForms application after they targeted it to NET 5.0.

In any application that draws a lot of icons to a graphics object associated to the current device context we would leak GDI+ handles as observed in the issue, which could potentially cause application crashes if we exceed the GDI handles limit imposed by the OS.

This impacts winforms as System.Drawing.Common is part of their shared framework.

Regression?

Yes, caused by dotnet/corefx@f807df6 in 5.0.

Testing

Manual testing and also included a regression test which was failing before the fix, the test and fix have been in master for about a week already and the test is pretty stable, we haven't seen failures from it or any other System.Drawing test.

Risk

Low, the fix is just making sure we call GDI.DeleteObject on a handle that is no longer used.
