In AOT we avoid generating the full IDispatch interface because it's large and heavyweight. Many interfaces derive from IDispatch for unstructured calling, but when CsWin32 generates an interface, the callers will want to call the structured interfaces and we don't need to weigh down their generated code with interfaces and types they don't need.
However, there are cases where having the real IDispatch would be useful. So now if you explicitly ask for IDispatch then we will generate the real one.
