Fix hot reload IL trimming

Summary

This PR improves IL trimming effectiveness for Blazor WebAssembly apps by making the hot reload feature switch properly recognized by the IL trimmer. Previously, hot reload–related code (caches, event subscriptions, metadata update handlers) was not trimmed away in published WASM apps because the trimmer could not statically determine that MetadataUpdater.IsSupported was false.

Problem

HotReloadManager.MetadataUpdateSupported was backed by MetadataUpdater.IsSupported, which returns false at runtime in trimmed/published WASM builds. However, the IL trimmer could not prove this statically. As a result:

• All hot reload cache-clearing event handlers were retained in trimmed output.
• Static constructors across ~20 files registered hot reload callbacks that could never fire.
• The HotReloadManager type itself and its dependency graph survived trimming.

Solution

1. Introduced HotReloadManager.IsSupported — a static bool property annotated with [FeatureSwitchDefinition("System.Reflection.Metadata.MetadataUpdater.IsSupported")]. This tells the IL trimmer to substitute this property with false when the feature switch is disabled, enabling it to eliminate dead code behind the guard.

2. Split the check into two levels:

   • HotReloadManager.IsSupported (static, trimmer-visible) — controls whether any hot reload infrastructure is linked.
   • HotReloadManager.IsEnabled (instance, runtime-mutable) — replaces the old MetadataUpdateSupported property, used for testing scenarios where hot reload behavior needs to be toggled at runtime.

3. Updated all ~20 call sites from:

   if (HotReloadManager.Default.MetadataUpdateSupported)

   to:

   if (HotReloadManager.IsSupported)

   The static IsSupported check comes first so the trimmer can eliminate the entire if block when the feature is disabled.

4. Updated Renderer to use the same two-level guard pattern, replacing direct references to the old static HotReloadManager.MetadataUpdateSupported.

5. Updated ILLink substitutions in ILLink.Substitutions.xml to target the new get_IsSupported method.

Testing

• Unit tests (RendererTest.cs): Updated to use the new IsEnabled property for controlling hot reload behavior in tests.
• E2E test (WebAssemblyTrimmingTest.cs): Added a new test that verifies HotReloadManager type is trimmed away in published WASM builds. Uses reflection (Type.GetType) to confirm the type is absent in trimmed output.
• Test component (HotReloadTrimmingCheck.razor): A Blazor component that checks at runtime whether HotReloadManager is present via reflection, reporting true/false.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to improve IL trimming for Blazor WebAssembly published apps by making hot reload support trimmer-visible (via a feature-switch-based HotReloadManager.IsSupported guard), updating hot reload call sites to use a two-level guard (IsSupported + runtime-mutable IsEnabled), and adding E2E coverage to validate trimming behavior.

Changes:

• Introduces HotReloadManager.IsSupported (feature switch) and renames the runtime toggle to HotReloadManager.Default.IsEnabled.
• Updates hot reload cache/event-hook call sites to gate on HotReloadManager.IsSupported && HotReloadManager.Default.IsEnabled.
• Adds a trimming check component + E2E test, and updates linker substitutions to target get_IsSupported.
