Avalonia apps pack every resource (compiled XAML, image/SVG assets, ...)
behind a single !AvaloniaResources manifest blob, which until now fell
through to the generic resource node and could not be browsed. Parse the
blob's index and expose each packed file as its own entry, mirroring how
.resources files are unpacked, so individual files can be viewed and
saved. The reader is bounds-checked against crafted offsets/sizes in the
same defensive spirit as the recent .rsrc parsing guards.

ReadWin32Resources walked the PE resource directory tree with raw native pointer
arithmetic over attacker-controlled offsets, counts and sizes, with no bounds
checks, no recursion-depth limit and no cycle detection. The root section pointer
came from GetSectionData, whose length was read and then discarded, leaving every
dereference unbounded.
A crafted assembly could therefore turn merely opening it (the Save as project
feature reads these resources unconditionally) into an uncatchable process kill or
an out-of-bounds native read: a subdirectory entry pointing back at itself recursed
until the stack overflowed; an inflated entry count walked off the section end; and
a data entry whose Size was up to 4 GB made Buffer.MemoryCopy read far past the
section, faulting on an unmapped page or copying adjacent process memory into the
byte[] later written to app.ico/app.manifest on disk. None of this is containable,
since a StackOverflowException cannot be caught and the repo has no corrupted-state
exception handling. This is the sibling of the bundle signature fix in a154a7bbb.
Carry the section length alongside the root pointer and bounds-check every offset,
entry count, name-string length and data Size against it, cap recursion depth and
track visited directory offsets to break cycles. A hostile or truncated file now
yields a bounded, partial tree instead of a crash; well-formed resources parse
exactly as before. The parser no longer needs the whole PEReader, only a delegate
that resolves a data RVA to a bounded pointer, which is the seam the new tests drive
over a pinned buffer.

On FIPS-mode systems the platform crypto provider refuses to create
SHA-1 instances (OpenSSL: error:03000098 invalid digest), so merely
displaying a strong-named assembly's identity failed. The public-key
token is a non-secret identity hash whose algorithm is fixed by
ECMA-335, so the two token sites now use dotnet/runtime's managed
Sha1ForNonSecretPurposes, vendored with its license header intact and
shielded from the repo formatter via generated_code in .editorconfig
so future upstream syncs diff cleanly. IncrementalHash was considered
and rejected: like SHA1.Create(), it resolves the digest through the
host crypto policy, and Roslyn's equivalent token code also relies on
the platform SHA-1, so it offers no precedent for FIPS safety.

ResXResourceWriter is a verbatim port of the Mono implementation
(see file header). Both warnings flag deliberate decisions in the
upstream port that we preserve for fidelity:
* CA1063 — Dispose() is virtual and the protected Dispose(bool) is
not, the inverse of the canonical pattern; keeping the Mono shape.
* CA2213 — the writer's stream / textwriter fields are caller-owned
and intentionally not disposed by the writer.

Four cases where the analyzer rule conflicts with intentional design:
* EmptyList<T>.IDisposable.Dispose (CA1063) — explicit IDisposable on
IEnumerator<T>; making it public would conflict with the rest of the
IList<T> / IEnumerator<T> surface.
* MetadataFile.SectionHeaders (CA1065) — throw documents that this
MetadataFileKind has no PE sections; PE-like derived kinds override.
* LongSet.GetHashCode + LongSet itself (CA1065 + CA2231) — explicit
guards against using LongSet in hash containers / via equality
operators; SetEquals is the supported comparison and
IEquatable<LongSet>.Equals is itself [Obsolete].
* AnnotationList.Clone (CA2002) — AnnotationList is a private nested
type; the surrounding Annotatable class deliberately locks on the
AnnotationList instance to serialize annotation reads/writes, and
external code cannot obtain a reference to it.

MetadataFile now declares IDisposable using the canonical pattern
(public non-virtual Dispose() + protected virtual Dispose(bool)).
PEFile and WebCilFile become sealed and override Dispose(bool) to
release the PEReader and MemoryMappedViewAccessor they own;
ResourcesFile is also sealed. PortableDebugInfoProvider disposes the
MetadataReaderProvider it owns. LoadedAssembly implements IDisposable
and disposes both the loaded MetadataFile and the debug-info provider.
AssemblyList.Unload / Clear / ReloadAssembly / HotReplaceAssembly now
dispose the LoadedAssembly instances they evict, fixing a resource leak
where every "Reload Assembly" held the previous PEReader (and the
underlying file handle / memory-mapped view) alive until GC eventually
finalized it.
The disposal contract terminates at the AssemblyList tier: downstream
holders of MetadataFile (MetadataModule, DecompilerTypeSystem,
AssemblyListSnapshot, ...) hold borrowed references rather than owned
ones, so making the base IDisposable does not cascade into CA1001 /
CA2213 warnings elsewhere.

In newer runtime versions, MemoryStream is no longer a serializable type like it was in .NET Framework. This means explicit support has to be implemented for it.
DecodeArrayInitializer - Instead of relying on the Add method of a list to expand the underlying array when necessary, the code now allocates a big enough array to fit all the elements removing the need for the Add method to expand the array several times.
BlockFromInitializer now reuses a single instance of List<ILInstruction> instead of reallocating a new one every time and clears it when necessary. The same pre-allocation approach mentioned above has been implemented here too.
