The first CI run on a macOS runner surfaced that these tests encoded
the Windows/Linux menu shape, while MainMenu.Attach intentionally
diverges on macOS: TranslateGesturesForMacOS rewrites Control to Meta
so shortcuts follow the Cmd-key convention, and PromoteHelpToMacAppMenu
moves the Help items into the application menu and drops the _Help
top-level. The tests now assert the macOS-correct expectations on
macOS, including that the Help content lands in the app menu rather
than vanishing.

The Avalonia port had placed the UI app in an ILSpy.* namespace tree,
while the csproj RootNamespace and every prior release (through 10.1)
use ICSharpCode.ILSpy.*. Restoring the historical namespace reduces the
public API diff against release/10.1 for plugin authors and removes the
shadowing that forced global:: qualifiers in the test project. The
Images class and AccessOverlayIcon enum move back into the root
namespace (as in 10.1), since an ICSharpCode.ILSpy.Images namespace
would shadow the Images class for all code inside ICSharpCode.ILSpy.

The MainMenu UserControl previously built a regular Avalonia Menu of
MenuItems, which on macOS would render inline in the window instead
of in the system menu bar -- not what Mac users expect. Avalonia's
NativeMenu + NativeMenuBar is the cross-platform abstraction: on
macOS the menu is projected into the system bar, on Windows / Linux
NativeMenuBar's presenter renders the same items inline. The MEF
registry, theme submenu, tool-pane toggles, and dynamic tab list all
flow through unchanged; only the leaf widget type swaps from MenuItem
to NativeMenuItem. KeyModifiers.Control is translated to Meta on
macOS so the system menu bar shows Cmd glyphs instead of Ctrl.

Replaces the brittle root.GetVisualDescendants().OfType<T>().Single() / .First()
pattern with a new WaitForComponent<T>() extension that polls until the requested
control is in the visual tree, then returns it. Avalonia.Headless tests routinely
queried the visual tree before lazily-templated panes (DataGrid, dock content)
had materialised, surfacing as intermittent 'Sequence contains no elements'
failures across the suite.

Adds a leading paragraph describing what each test verifies and Arrange /
Act / Assert markers (split into numbered phases for multi-step tests) so
the intent of each fixture is readable from comments alone.

File / View / Window / Help built from MEF main-menu commands plus a static
View submenu (API visibility, Theme = Light/Dark via Application.RequestedThemeVariant,
UI Language) bound to LanguageSettings on SessionSettings. Window menu also lists
the existing tool-pane toggles. Commands without ported deps (Options, About,
Updates, GAC, manage lists, save/PDB) surface a "not yet ported" stub dialog.
Open uses Avalonia StorageProvider; CloseAllDocs/ResetLayout call into DockWorkspace.
InputGestureText on the export attribute is parsed into MenuItem.HotKey, giving
Open Ctrl+O / Save Ctrl+S / Reload F5 as window-scoped accelerators.

- Use custom test runner for correctness tests.
- Use .NET 6.0 framework for all Roslyn compiler tests.
- Disabled tests involving new string interpolation patterns.
