Add a BindingImpl attribute and use to to teach the linker look for it to search for optimizable code. (#3299)
* [ObjCRuntime] Add a BindingImplAttribute.

* [linker] Make ProviderToString an extension method on ICustomAttributeProvider to make it more discoverable.

* [generator] Use [BindingImpl] instead of [CompilerGenerated].

The entire diff is big (89MB), so it can't be gisted. However, most of it is
either removal of `using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;` or the change from
`[CompilerGenerated]` to `[BindingImpl (...)]` like this:
https://gist.github.com/rolfbjarne/8bfda3ed37b956d0342a1c1e9b079244

If I remove those parts of the diff, there's nothing significant left:

* [linker] Teach the linker about the new [BindingImpl] attribute.

In addition to the existing logic where the linker would optimize some
[CompilerGenerated] code (sometimes with additional requirements), it will now
also optimize all [BindingImpl (Optimizable)] code (without any additional
requirements).

* [tests] Add tests to make sure [BindingImpl (Optimizable)] works as expected.

* [linker] Check for [BindingImpl] before [CompilerGenerated] and stop checking for [CompilerGenerated] in XAMCORE_4_0.

Check for [BindingImpl] before checking for [CompilerGenerated], since the
former is more common.

Also stop checking for [CompilerGenerated] (at least to mean that code is
optimizable) in our next non-compatible evolutionary leap (XAMCORE_4_0):

* [introspection] Impl a better typo check.
