Update GetPinnableReference() usage in multi-step custom tyep marshal…

…ling

Change GetPinnableReference() on a marshaller type to be used as a side effect when marshalling in all cases when a fixed() statement is usable.

Use the Value property getter to get the value to pass to native in all cases.

Update our marshallers and tests to follow this design update.

 > :question: Does this API surface and shape work for all marshalling scenarios we plan on supporting? It may have issues with the current "layout class" by-value `[Out]` parameter marshalling where the runtime updates a `class` typed object in place. We already recommend against using classes for interop for performance reasons and a struct value passed via `ref` or `out` with the same members would cover this scenario.
 
 If the native type `TNative` also has a public `Value` property, then the value of the `Value` property will be passed to native code instead of the `TNative` value itself. As a result, the type `TNative` will be allowed to be non-blittable and the type of the `Value` property will be required to be blittable. If the `Value` property is settable, then when marshalling in the native-to-managed direction, a default value of `TNative` will have its `Value` property set to the native value. If `Value` does not have a setter, then marshalling from native to managed is not supported.
 
-A `ref` or `ref readonly` typed `Value` property is unsupported. If a ref-return is required, the type author can supply a `GetPinnableReference` method on the native type. If a `GetPinnableReference` method is supplied, then the `Value` property must have a pointer-sized primitive type.
+If a `Value` property is provided, the developer may also provide a ref-returning or readonly-ref-returning `GetPinnableReference` method. The `GetPinnableReference` method will be called before the `Value` property getter is called. The ref returned by `GetPinnableReference` will be pinned with a `fixed` statement, but the pinned will not be used (it acts exclusively as a side-effect).
+
+A `ref` or `ref readonly` typed `Value` property is unsupported. If a ref-return is required, the type author can supply a `GetPinnableReference` method on the native type to pin the desired `ref` to return and then use `System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.AsPointer` to get a pointer from the `ref` that will have already been pinned by the time the `Value` getter is called.

 #### Pinning
 
-Since C# 7.3 added a feature to enable custom pinning logic for user types, we should also add support for custom pinning logic. If the user provides a `GetPinnableReference` method that matches the requirements to be used in a `fixed` statement and the pointed-to type is blittable, then we will support using pinning to marshal the managed value when possible. The analyzer should issue a warning when the pointed-to type would not match the final native type, accounting for the `Value` property on the native type. Since `MarshalUsingAttribute` is applied at usage time instead of at type authoring time, we will not enable the pinning feature since the implementation of `GetPinnableReference` unless the pointed-to return type matches the native type.

 When these members are present, the source generator will call the two-parameter constructor with a possibly stack-allocated buffer of `BufferSize` bytes when a stack-allocated buffer is usable. If a stack-allocated buffer is a requirement, the `RequiresStackBuffer` field should be set to `true` and the `buffer` will be guaranteed to be allocated on the stack. Setting the `RequiresStackBuffer` field to `false` is the same as omitting the field definition. Since a dynamically allocated buffer is not usable in all scenarios, for example Reverse P/Invoke and struct marshalling, a one-parameter constructor must also be provided for usage in those scenarios. This may also be provided by providing a two-parameter constructor with a default value for the second parameter.
 
-Type authors can pass down the `buffer` pointer to native code by defining a `GetPinnableReference()` method on the native type that returns a reference to the first element of the span. When the `RequiresStackBuffer` field is set to `true`, the type author is free to use APIs that would be dangerous in non-stack-allocated scenarios such as `MemoryMarshal.GetReference()` and `Unsafe.AsPointer()`.
+Type authors can pass down the `buffer` pointer to native code by defining a `Value` property that returns a pointer to the first element, generally through code using `MemoryMarshal.GetReference()` and `Unsafe.AsPointer`. If `RequiresStackBuffer` is not provided or set to `false`, the `buffer` span must be pinned to be used safely. The `buffer` span can be pinned by defining a `GetPinnableReference()` method on the native type that returns a reference to the first element of the span.
