This way, we don't need the MapToMergedBounds logic to split the merged list back into lower/upper.
Also, this commit avoids the quadratic merge-everything-with-everything else -- instead we use a dictionary to compare only types that are equivalent to begin with.
This is the same approach as Roslyn MethodTypeInference.Fix/AddAllCandidates.
Whether an unresolvable type is a reference type is not a property of the
type but of the metadata that mentioned it: a signature spelling it
`valuetype T` yields false, a bare TypeRef yields null. UnknownType.Equals
compares the flag, so the two spellings of one missing type compared
unequal and EquivalentTypes reported false - the decompiler then emitted a
cast between a type and itself.
Erasing the flag in NormalizeTypeVisitor keeps the relaxation inside the
comparisons that ask for erasure, next to the nullability, modopt and tuple
erasure that are use-site spellings of the same kind. Dropping the term
from UnknownType.Equals instead was measured and rejected: Equals also keys
CSharpConversions' implicit-conversion cache, where merging the two
spellings lets whichever conversion is computed first answer for both,
adding 398 boxing casts across two real-world assemblies.

Both types are consumed well outside the C# output layer - DecompileRun
carries the using scope, and the IL transforms build a resolve context from
it - so living in ICSharpCode.Decompiler.CSharp.TypeSystem misrepresented
where they belong and forced a C#-specific namespace import on every
consumer.

ScopedKind is now the authoritative lifetime representation, so retaining
the preview-era boolean fields would duplicate state. Keep the current
ScopedRef compatibility property and group the new metadata attributes
with the other C# 11 attributes.

ScopedRefAttribute only records explicit syntax. Effective lifetime also
depends on UnscopedRefAttribute, params collections, out parameters, and
the defining module's RefSafetyRules version. Model those distinctions in
the type system without changing decompiler output.

The MetadataMethod constructor cut the post-dot short name for every
static non-generic method whose name contains a dot, only to test it
for an op_ prefix that almost never matches. The prefix is now checked
on a span slice first, so the substring (still required by
OperatorDeclaration.GetOperatorType) is allocated only for actual
explicit-interface operator implementations.

The .NET 10 BCL ships static [Extension] classes that contain ordinary
nested types (e.g. XDocumentExtensions.XDocumentNavigable). Decompiling
such a nested type's member in isolation resolved the enclosing
container's ExtensionInfo, and DecompileBody then dereferenced the
missing extension-member mapping. A container without any extension
blocks now reports no ExtensionInfo at all, and ResolveExtensionInfo
applies a container's info only to members that actually belong to one
of its extension blocks.

Backfills the standard MIT X11 header on hand-written files that never
got one, attributing each to its first-commit author and year from git
history. Code vendored from dotnet/runtime and Humanizr/Humanizer gets
its origin's license lines and a provenance note instead. Generated
files (Resources.Designer.cs, the version-info template), tool-managed
suppression files, and BAML test-case fixtures intentionally stay
header-less.

LocalFunctionMethod.MemberDefinition returned the instance itself, so the
declaration of a generic local function (whose base method is an identity
specialization) and its use sites (whose base methods carry the use-site
substitutions) never compared equal, and click-highlighting could not group
them. Returning a wrapper around the unspecialized base method lets the
token writer record the same definition object for the declaration and all
use sites. Method-group references to local functions additionally need
their own lookup, because GetSymbol() does not surface a
MethodGroupResolveResult.
The token-writer tests now keep the PEFile alive for the duration of each
test: recorded references are type-system entities that lazily read from
the PE image, and formatting one in an assertion message after disposal
crashed with an AccessViolationException.

Detect MethodImplOptions.Async (0x2000) in ILReader and unpack Task/Task<T>
return types so the IL Leave value and function.AsyncReturnType match the
source signature. Add CSharp15_0 (Preview also bumped to 1500) and a
RuntimeAsync setting (default on, gated to >=CSharp15_0), expose it in the
Languages dropdown, mask the synthetic MethodImplAsync bit out of the
decompiled [MethodImpl], and add a .runtimeasync test suffix.
* ExtensionDeclaration.SymbolKind (CA1065) — was throwing
NotImplementedException; return SymbolKind.TypeDefinition to match
TypeDeclaration / DelegateDeclaration, since `extension` declarations
are type-level.
* CustomAttribute.DecodeValue (CA2002) — replace `lock(this)` on the
sealed-but-internal class with a private syncRoot field.
* PlainTextOutput (CA1001) — implement IDisposable; track an
ownsWriter flag so we only dispose the underlying TextWriter when
the parameterless constructor created its own StringWriter.
* DotNetCorePathFinder (CA1060) — move the libc realpath / free
PInvokes into a private nested NativeMethods class.
* ILSpy.ReadyToRun (CA1016) — add [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
in Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs to match the BamlDecompiler plugin.

This improves how function pointers are decompiled.
* ExpressionBuilder::VisitLdFtn now properly constructs the calling conventions.
* FunctionPointerType::FromSignature now checks whether a modopt type affects the calling convention.
