Microsoft Reviewers: Open in CodeFlow

This removes the legacy resource editor from the `Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editors` assembly. It has been functionally replaced by the newer Resource Explorer.

Some utility code had to be moved around to keep things building, and the `Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editors.ResxItemWizard` class is public API that's consumed from various components such as templates.

We may wish to revert this, and instead use the same (legacy) GUID for Resource Explorer. In that way, existing code across the tree and extensions will continue to work, just with the new editor.

We will use the same GUID for the new editor now that this one has been removed.
