* fix: register built-in activation strategy serialization aliases
3.8 type-resolution hardening no longer falls back to Type.GetType, so
Studio-selected and 3.7-era SQN activation strategy types failed to
deserialize. Register the four built-in strategies with legacy names
and advertise registry aliases from the descriptor endpoint.

share setup without collapsing their assertions.

* test: qualify Options.Create in serialization test helpers
Avoid Elsa.Options colliding with Microsoft.Extensions.Options.Options.

* test: keep activation alias setup local and obvious
Drop the shared Testing.Shared helper and extra Runtime wrapper. Those
hid one-line registry construction. Leave same-class helpers only.

* fix: advertise resolvable activation strategy type names
When the registry has no preferred alias, fall back to the simple
assembly-qualified name so Studio stores an identifier the resolver
can load. FullName is not a registered alias.

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).

* 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

Direct cause: typeName was missing in synthetic input property
Root cause: worklfow used as activity defined input with reserved name 'Metadata'
Why fix was needed? Because the uncaught exception was preventing other workflows from being published. Even though this exception occurs, it should not prevent publishing other workflows.
Solution introduced here:
- Collect exceptions that prevent an activity from being in the expected state. In this case, we expected all syntehtic input properties to be valid, but they are not.
- Return the list of exceptions to the caller, along with an IActivity instance that does not throw exceptions
- The caller, in this case ActivityJsonConverter, can log any exceptions, whilst not breaking the loop with uncaught exceptions.
* Inital commit:
1. Fixed problem: (re-)added logic to search for workflow-as-activities based on DefinitionId (not only versionId)
2. Added tests for Deserialiazation so this logic cannot disappear "unnoticed" in the future.
* Found one flaw:
workflowDefinitionId is also used in other activities. Therefore, we must make sure to only search by workflowDefinitionId when the value is a string (e.g. when workflow used as activity, the value will always be a constant string, because the workflowDefinitionId cannot be resolved using expressions)
* Final attempt:
1) First try to find the activity by type name
2) Even if a descriptor is found by its type name, there might be multiple versions of a workflow-as-activity, hence; if the workflowDefinitionVersionId is specified, then this can override the initially found activity descriptor by type name.
3) Lastly, only when no activity descriptor is found by type name AND the activity JSON contains the property "workflowDeftinitionId", then we can search by workflowDefinitionId
* Add `net8.0` and `net9.0` targets, update package versions for resilience libraries.
* Exclude `net10.0` target framework from MySQL EF Core project due to Pomelo compatibility constraints.
* Remove unnecessary whitespace in MySQL EF Core project file
* Refactor `ActivityJsonConverterTests` to streamline registry setup and improve readability.
* Adds null activity descriptor lookup mock
Ensures the custom property lookup path is tested by mocking type name lookups to return null when searching for ActivityDescriptors.
* Fix activity descriptor override assignment in `ActivityJsonConverter`
Corrects the assignment logic for `activityDescriptor` and ensures `activityTypeVersion` uses the overridden descriptor's version when a custom property match is found.
* Apply suggestion from @Copilot
