[MonoTouch] Help displaying UISplitViewController from UIViewController

[Craig Dunn]

SplitViewController is "supposed" to be the root (ala the Mail app)
according to Apple's guidelines. It "can" also be added inside a
UITabBarController
(see<https://raw.github.com/xamarin/mobile-samples/master/MWC/Screenshots/iOS/Sessions_iPad.PNG>the
MWC
sample <https://github.com/xamarin/mobile-samples/tree/master/MWC>, and
note the special
handling<https://github.com/xamarin/mobile-samples/blob/master/MWC/MWC.iOS/UI/Controls/IntelligentSplitViewController.cs>required
for rotation).
