e22dd3bc6a C#: Static marshaling for bindings and source generators
Previously, we added source generators for invoking/accessing methods,
properties and fields in scripts. This freed us from the overhead of
reflection. However, the generated code still used our dynamic
marshaling functions, which do runtime type checking and box value
types.

This commit changes the bindings and source generators to include
'static' marshaling. Based on the types known at compile time, now
we generate the appropriate marshaling call for each type.

92503ae8db C#: Add source generator for properties and exports default values
The editor no longer needs to create temporary instances to get the
default values. The initializer values of the exported properties are
still evaluated at runtime. For example, in the following example,
`GetInitialValue()` will be called when first looks for default values:

```
[Export] int MyValue = GetInitialValue();
```

Exporting fields with a non-supported type now results in a compiler
error rather than a runtime error when the script is used.

4d710bf659 C#: Add initial implementation of source generator for script members
This replaces the way we invoke methods and set/get properties.
This first iteration rids us of runtime type checking in those
cases, as it's now done at compile time.
Later it will also stop needing the use of reflection. After that,
we will only depend on reflection for generic Godot Array and
Dictionary. We're stuck with reflection in generic collections
for now as C# doesn't support generic/template specialization.

This is only the initial implementation. Further iterations are
coming, specially once we switch to the native extension system
which completely changes the way members are accessed/invoked.
For example, with the native extension system we will likely need
to create `UnmanagedCallersOnly` invoke wrapper methods and return
function pointers to the engine.

Other kind of members, like event signals will be receiving the
same treatment in the future.
