We use collectible AssemblyLoadContexts as that's the only way to allow
reloading assemblies after building. However, collectible assemblies
have some restrictions:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/reflection-and-codedom/collectible-assemblies#restrictions-on-collectible-assemblies
Those restrictions can cause issues with third-party code, such as some
mocking libraries.
In order to work around this problem, we're going to load assemblies
as collectible only in Godot editor, and not when running games.
These issues will still exist in the editor, but this will be enough
for some users.

- Replace `IndexOutOfRangeException` with `ArgumentOutOfRangeException`
- Replace `Exception` with a more specific exception
- Add the parameter name to argument exception
- Update documentation for methods that throw exceptions
- Use `StringBuilder` to build exception messages
- Ensure exception messages end with a period

- Moves interop functions to UnmanagedCallbacks struct that
contains the function pointers and is passed to C#.
- Implements UnmanagedCallbacksGenerator, a C# source generator that
generates the UnmanagedCallbacks struct in C# and the body for the
NativeFuncs methods (their implementation just calls the function
pointer in the UnmanagedCallbacks). The generated methods are needed
because .NET pins byref parameters of native calls, even if they are
'ref struct's, which don't need pinning. The generated methods use
`Unsafe.AsPointer` so that we can benefit from byref parameters
without suffering overhead of pinning.

This commit adds initial support for games exported as NativeAOT shared
libraries.
At this moment, the NativeAOT runtime is experimental. Additionally,
Godot is not trim-safe as it still makes some use of reflection.
For the time being, a rd.xml file is needed to prevent code triming:
```
<Directives xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2013/01/metadata">
<Application>
<Assembly Name="GodotSharp" Dynamic="Required All" />
<Assembly Name="GAME_ASSEMBLY" Dynamic="Required All" />
</Application>
</Directives>
```
These are the csproj changes for publishing:
```
<PropertyGroup>
<NativeLib>Shared</NativeLib>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<RdXmlFile Include="rd.xml" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler" Version="7.0.0-*" />
</ItemGroup>
```

This base implementation is still very barebones but it defines the path
for how exporting will work (at least when embedding the .NET runtime).
Many manual steps are still needed, which should be automatized in the
future. For example, in addition to the API assemblies, now you also
need to copy the GodotPlugins assembly to each game project.

We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
