Fix MSTest fixture method fixers removing comments from method bodies

[Copilot]

• Analyze the issue: MSTest0008 fixer removes comments when fixing TestInitialize method signatures
• Identify root cause: FixtureMethodFixer uses SyntaxGenerator.MethodDeclaration which creates a new method from scratch and loses trivia
• Modify FixtureMethodFixer to preserve original method body (including comments and trivia)
• Add test cases to verify comments are preserved after code fix (TestInitialize, TestCleanup, ClassInitialize)
• Manual verification and analysis of the fix
• Verified fix works for all analyzers using FixtureMethodFixer (MSTest0001, MSTest0002, MSTest0006, MSTest0007, MSTest0008, MSTest0009)
• Remove unused using statement
• Fix modifier ordering (public static async instead of public async static)
• Fix parameter type formatting (use simple name TestContext instead of fully qualified name)
• Fix abstract method handling (add empty body instead of keeping semicolon)

Summary

Fixed the issue where MSTest analyzers would remove comments from method bodies when applying code fixes. The solution modifies FixtureMethodFixer.cs to use .WithXXX() methods to modify only the necessary parts of the method declaration (parameters, return type, modifiers, type parameters) while preserving the original method body with all its trivia (comments, whitespace).

Changes

• Modified FixtureMethodFixer.cs to preserve method body and trivia
• Fixed modifier ordering to ensure proper C# syntax (public before static before async)
• Fixed parameter type to use simple name instead of fully qualified name
• Fixed abstract method handling to add empty body when method has no body
• Removed unused using statement (Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Editing)
• Added comprehensive test cases for TestInitialize, TestCleanup, and ClassInitialize fixers
• All changes follow repository coding standards and conventions

Impact

This fix affects all 6 analyzers that use FixtureMethodFixer, ensuring comments are preserved across all method fixture fixers.

<issue_title>MSTest0008 fixer seems to be suggesting to remove the comments</issue_title>
<issue_description>Let's take the following example. The code fixer suggests to remove the comments as well.

[TestInitialize]
public void TestSetup(TestContext tc)
{
    SomeCode();

    // Some comments;
}

@copilot some existing tests are now fialing related to your changes:

...

Fixed both issues in commit b324f57:

1. Modifier ordering: Changed from public async static to public static async by inserting modifiers at the beginning in the correct order
2. Parameter type: Changed from fully qualified name Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestContext to simple name TestContext

The failing tests should now pass.

...

Fixed abstract method handling in commit 7fabcc2. When a method has no body (abstract methods), the fixer now adds an empty body {} and removes the semicolon token, converting public abstract void Method(); to public void Method() { }.
