feat: enhance IReflectionConverter interface with cascading conversion properties

[IvanMurzak]

This pull request refactors the reflection converter implementation to introduce a more generic and extensible approach for lazy type resolution, and updates the interface to provide finer control over serialization behavior. The main changes include replacing LazyReflectionConverter with LazyGenericReflectionConverter, updating all references and tests accordingly, and expanding the IReflectionConverter interface with new properties for controlling serialization and conversion strategies.

Reflection Converter Refactoring

• Introduced LazyGenericReflectionConverter<T> and a non-generic LazyGenericReflectionConverter for flexible lazy type resolution, replacing the previous LazyReflectionConverter implementation. The new converters allow specifying ignored properties/fields and an optional backing converter, and override new interface properties to delegate to the backing converter when available. (ReflectorNet/src/Converter/Reflection/LazyGenericReflectionConverter.cs, previously LazyReflectionConverter.cs)
• Updated all usages in unit tests to use LazyGenericReflectionConverter instead of LazyReflectionConverter, ensuring test coverage remains consistent with the new implementation. (ReflectorNet.Tests/src/ReflectorTests/LazyReflectionConverterTests.cs) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Interface Enhancements

• Extended the IReflectionConverter interface to include new properties: AllowSetValue, AllowCascadeSerialization, AllowCascadeFieldsConversion, and AllowCascadePropertiesConversion, each with detailed XML documentation. These additions give consumers more granular control over how converters handle value assignment and recursive serialization of fields and properties. (ReflectorNet/src/Converter/IReflectionConverter.cs)

Pull request overview

This pull request refactors the reflection converter implementation by renaming LazyReflectionConverter to LazyGenericReflectionConverter and introducing both generic and non-generic variants. It also extends the IReflectionConverter interface with four new properties that provide fine-grained control over serialization behavior: AllowSetValue, AllowCascadeSerialization, AllowCascadeFieldsConversion, and AllowCascadePropertiesConversion.

Changes:

• Introduced LazyGenericReflectionConverter<T> (generic) and LazyGenericReflectionConverter (non-generic) to replace the previous LazyReflectionConverter
• Extended IReflectionConverter interface with four new properties for controlling value assignment and cascading serialization behavior
• Updated all test references from LazyReflectionConverter to LazyGenericReflectionConverter
