Captures the underlying semantics node's surface into bitmap. This can be used to capture nodes
in a normal composable, a dialog if API >=28 and in a Popup. Note that the mechanism used to
capture the bitmap from a Popup is not the same as from a normal composable, since a PopUp is in
a different window.
