* 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

* Upgrade projects to target .NET 10, add conditional `System.Linq.Async` dependencies for compatibility with earlier frameworks, and update project files for consistency across the solution.
* Suppress null comparison warning in `WorkflowDefinitionStore` and remove xUnit references from performance test project.
* Refactor performance test projects to remove xUnit references and update MSBuild properties for BenchmarkDotNet.
* Enhance null-safety annotations across modules and refactor for improved consistency:
- Added `null!` annotations to enforce non-nullability expectations.
- Updated workflows, tests, and runtime services to handle default null values reliably.
- Removed obsolete and unused APIs, simplifying interfaces and improving maintainability.
- Refactored methods and properties for clarity, thread-safety, and consistency.
- Adjusted test configurations for code coverage tracking and integration improvements.
* Refactor activity iteration in container serialization tests to simplify type casting.
* Restore EF Core persistence layer
Originally, we had moved EF Core to the extensions repo, but in practice this turned out to be rather impractical when debugging elsa-core, given that we would lose all of the state (workflow definitions, instances, etc.) across application restarts.
* Integrate PostgreSQL support into EF Core persistence and enhance BlobStorage workflows provider setup.
