Fix MarshallAs issue with raylib structs

See original GitHub issue

There are issues getting unmanaged arrays with a fixed size to work in C#. I have had errors with using LoadShader throwing error “Method’s type signature is not PInvoke compatible”.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Here are the structs using MarshallAs currently and the array from C.

Mesh unsigned int vboId[7];
Shader int locs[MAX_SHADER_LOCATIONS];
Material MaterialMap maps[MAX_MATERIAL_MAPS];

Update, after looking at the different options it seems you cannot Marshall fixed size arrays without using the fixed keyword. This requires this library and any that use it to be compiled as unsafe. For now it will use this instead.

I will keep this issue open for now in case a better solution is found in the future.

At the moment it is compiled as unsafe. I may keep it like that. I have tested using Span properties that use the IntPtr for mesh vertices, texcoords etc. Not sure if I prefer that.
