dotnet: consider emitting namespace, class, method, and field/property names referenced by an assembly

See original GitHub issue

(1) e.g. emit the following for System.IO.File::OpenRead:

- namespace: System.IO
- class: File
- method: OpenRead

(2) be more explicit to avoid FPs resulting from naming conflicts, e.g.:

- namespace: System.IO
- class: System.IO.File
- method: System.IO.File::OpenRead

and for properties, e.g. (more discussion in #939):

- namespace: System.Net
- class: System.Net.WebRequest
- property: System.Net.WebRequest::Method

I like option 2 the best, and I think this would apply to both file and function scopes and both internal and external references.

Ah, yeah, that could be neat to detect on namespaces. For simplicity I’d then say we emit namespace, class, method, and property/field names for all classes?!

see #939 for property access. #1030 covers namespace/class/method.
