Switch to build-time generation for Resx Files

See original GitHub issue

When using our default .csproj template:

  <ItemGroup>
    <Compile Include="**\*.cs" Exclude="$(GlobalExclude)" />
    <EmbeddedResource Include="**\*.resx" Exclude="$(GlobalExclude)" />
    <None Include="project.json" />
  </ItemGroup>

We don’t get the ResXFileCodeGenerator executed, so there isn’t a nice developer experience of how to get access to the resources.

@tmat Can this issue get prioritized? All of the Microsoft teams are using this via arcade as though the feature is just a normal part of a clean SDK project, but no one else has access to it. An acceptable interim alternative would be disabling the use of the arcade feature in roslyn and other open source projects to align the experiences.

Note that @AArnott and I are actively working on ResxSourceGenerator usability validation: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn-analyzers/pull/6560
