Get the top and left coordinates to center a window on the screen.

If you don't pass in the height or width, the function will use the current window's height and width to calculate the coordinates.

Also, if the input height or width is larger than the desktop dimensions, the function will return the desktop dimension instead.

There are 2 helper functions that will return just the left or top.
