Add VSMEF003: flag [Export(typeof(T))] when exporting class doesn't implement T

[Copilot]

Adds the VSMEF003 analyzer that warns when [Export(typeof(T))] is applied to a class that doesn't implement or inherit T, catching authoring mistakes that would cause runtime composition failures.

[Export(typeof(IFoo))]  // ⚠ VSMEF003: Bar does not implement IFoo
class Bar : IBar { }

Also checks property-level exports where the property type is incompatible with the exported contract type.

Analyzer implementation

• Registers on NamedType and Property symbols; checks all [Export(typeof(T))] attributes
• Uses Utils.IsExportAttribute() (walks attribute inheritance hierarchy) to cover custom ExportAttribute subclasses, consistent with other analyzers in the project
• Extracts exported type via TryGetExportedType() which handles both:
  • [Export(typeof(T))] — single-arg form (MEF v1 + v2)
  • [Export("contractName", typeof(T))] — two-arg form (MEF v1 only)
• Severity: Warning (VSMEF003)

Test coverage

Tests added for: unimplemented interface/base class, generic and unbound-generic exports, VB, MEF v1 two-arg contract name form, custom ExportAttribute subclasses, property exports, and valid cases that produce no diagnostic.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add analyzer explicit type export actually implements type</issue_title>
<issue_description>I would like to add another analyzer that ensures any [Export(typeof(T))] accompanies a type that actually implements T. I just found an example of this in CPS where that was not the case.

For example, this should be flagged:

[Export(typeof(IFoo))]
class Bar : IBar
{}

For this example, the analyzer needs to validate that IBar does not extend IFoo.

@drewnoakes All this added was support for ExportAttribute-derived types. That's a bit dubious because in fact we don't know what type identity is expected by a derived type (although the pattern copilot assumes is a reasonable common case).
But your opening issue suggested this analyzer that copilot enhanced didn't even exist. So do we need this at all, since it already exists?

[drewnoakes]

@AArnott indeed, it seems the issue I originally reported should have been covered. I don't think we can reliably report on subtypes of ExportAttribute. Let's close this out. I had seen an issue around this, but I don't remember the details. I'll keep an eye out and share an example if one arises.
