2c180f62d9 C#: Replace P/Invoke with delegate pointers
- 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.

4b90d16250 C#: Initial NativeAOT support
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>
```

88e367a406 C#/netcore: Add base desktop game export implementation
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.

f9a67ee9da C#: Begin move to .NET Core
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.
