Fixes: dotnet#5197 `[Preserve]` still works in some form, as the `ApplyPreserveAttribute` trimmer step will "mark" types it encounters. It unfortuantely, *does not* work if an assembly is deemed to be fully removed, as the `ApplyPreserveAttribute` will not be called for these types. To better align with the future of .NET, we should remove *our* usage of `[Preserve]`. The only failing result is `Java.Lang.Object.SetHandleOnDeserialized` which can be preserved in `Mono.Android.xml` instead. In a future PR, we can consider emitting warnings in customer code with `[Preserve]` usage.
