feat: Ignorable pointer members

[IvanMurzak]

This pull request adds support for controlling access to pointer fields and properties in reflection-based converters, along with comprehensive tests for these behaviors. The changes introduce two new properties, AllowPointerFieldsAccess and AllowPointerPropertiesAccess, to the reflection converter interface and its base implementation, allowing fine-grained control over whether pointer types are included during serialization. Tests are added to verify both enabled and disabled scenarios.

Pointer Access Control Improvements:

• Added AllowPointerFieldsAccess and AllowPointerPropertiesAccess properties to the IReflectionConverter interface, allowing converters to specify whether pointer fields and properties should be accessed.
• Provided default implementations for these properties in BaseReflectionConverter, defaulting to true.

Reflection Logic Updates:

• Updated GetSerializableFields and GetSerializableProperties in BaseReflectionConverter to filter out pointer fields and properties when the corresponding AllowPointer...Access property is false. [1] [2]

Testing Enhancements:

• Added a comprehensive test region in BaseReflectionConverterTests.cs to verify pointer field/property inclusion/exclusion based on the new properties, including both allowed and disallowed scenarios, and confirming the default values.

Project Configuration:

• Enabled unsafe code blocks in the test project by setting <AllowUnsafeBlocks>true</AllowUnsafeBlocks> in the test project file to support pointer-related tests.

Pull request overview

This pull request adds support for controlling whether pointer-type fields and properties are included during reflection-based serialization. The feature introduces two new configuration properties to the reflection converter interface, allowing converters to exclude pointer members when needed.

Changes:

• Added AllowPointerFieldsAccess and AllowPointerPropertiesAccess properties to IReflectionConverter interface and BaseReflectionConverter with default values of true
• Updated reflection logic to filter out pointer-type fields and properties when the corresponding allow properties are set to false
• Added comprehensive test coverage for pointer access control scenarios
