Backport to release/3.8.0 so Elsa.Api.Client 3.8.0-rc2 exposes the
Resources/OutputConverters surface that Elsa Studio's release/3.8.0 branch
already consumes. Without it, Studio cannot build against a released client:
it was green against 3.8.0-preview.5397 (built from main) and broke when its
pin moved to 3.8.0-rc1 (built from this branch).
(cherry picked from commit d698e6b005)

* Simplify type serialization and alias management
This commit refactors the internal type serialization and alias management system to reduce boilerplate, improve robustness, and simplify the developer experience:
- Removed numerous explicit `ExpressionOptions` type alias registrations across various modules.
- Updated `TypeJsonConverter` and polymorphic serialization to reliably handle types using assembly-qualified names when a short alias is not explicitly registered.
- Streamlined `ExcludeFromHashConverter` to strictly adhere to `ExcludeFromHashAttribute` for hash calculations, removing complex `JsonIgnoreCondition` logic.
- Eliminated several helper classes (`WorkflowJsonTypeResolver`, `WorkflowTypeValidator`, `IWorkflowTypeRegistry`, `WorkflowFactoryDictionary`, `JavaScriptExceptionTypeAliasRegistrar`, `WorkflowRuntimeTypeAliasRegistrar`) and their associated unit tests, simplifying the codebase.
Additionally, this commit introduces a comprehensive markdown document (`product-website-feature-source.md`) outlining Elsa's core features, Studio capabilities, extension ecosystem, and architectural selling points, intended as source material for the product website.
* Refine type serialization for improved robustness and alias handling
This commit further enhances the type serialization and deserialization mechanisms:
* Centralizes type resolution and alias management through `IWellKnownTypeRegistry` and `WorkflowJsonTypeResolver`.
* Prioritizes registered type aliases when serializing type metadata in `PolymorphicObjectConverter`, resulting in more concise JSON output.
* Enhances deserialization in `PolymorphicObjectConverter` and `VariableMapper` to gracefully handle unknown or non-instantiable types, providing fallbacks and logging warnings.
* Simplifies `TypeJsonConverter` by delegating complex type resolution logic to the `WorkflowJsonTypeResolver`.
* Adds `JsonArray` to the well-known type aliases for direct recognition.
* Fix console logs packaging and workflow type resolution
* Fix console log metadata and type resolution
* Address Copilot review feedback
