Parse custom attribute value blobs for dependencies and rewrite type name strings (#127596)

## Description

`CustomAttributeNode` had two TODOs: it wasn't parsing the custom
attribute value blob for dependencies, and it wasn't rewriting type name
strings that could become stale after trimming removes type forwarders.

### Dependency analysis (`GetStaticDependencies`)

Decodes the custom attribute blob via `CustomAttributeTypeProvider` and
reports dependencies for:
- `typeof()` arguments
- Enum types (needed for boxing)
- Property setters and fields referenced in named arguments
- Non-primitive array element types

Constructor resolution uses `TryGetMethod` instead of try/catch, with a
null constructor triggering an early return before named argument
processing. `GetDependenciesFromPropertySetter` uses
`GetTypeDefinition()` to correctly resolve property setters on generic
attribute types. Dependency decode failures set an instance
`_isCorrupted` flag so rewrite can avoid re-processing known-bad blobs.

### Blob rewriting (`WriteInternal`)

`RewriteCustomAttributeBlob` reads the custom attribute blob manually
with `BlobReader`, writes into `writeContext.GetSharedBlobBuilder()`,
and rewrites only serialized type-name strings where needed
(`System.Type` payloads and enum type names). Type-name resolution uses
`GetTypeByCustomAttributeTypeName(..., throwIfNotFound: false)` and
rewrites only when resolution succeeds, preserving unresolved serialized
type names as-is.

Rewrite early-outs to copying the original blob when `_isCorrupted` is
set or when the constructor cannot be resolved.

### Type safety improvements

`NodeFactory.ReflectedType`, `ReflectedMethod`, and `ReflectedField` now
return `DependencyNode` directly instead of `object`, since all return
paths produce a `DependencyNode` (either a real definition node or
`NullDependencyNode.Instance`). This removes the need for `is
DependencyNode` pattern checks at all call sites. Similarly, the `value
is ImmutableArray<CustomAttributeTypedArgument<TypeDesc>>` pattern check
in `GetDependenciesFromCustomAttributeArgument` has been replaced with a
hard cast, relying on the `System.Reflection.Metadata` contract that
`DecodeValue` always produces `ImmutableArray<...>` for `SzArray`-typed
arguments (the `value is null` case is already handled earlier).
