Remove Ghost.Shader.Test project and refine debug/editor code

- Deleted Ghost.Shader.Test project and its source files.
- Updated ComponentDescriptorRegistry to simplify type resolution and added a TODO for source generators.
- Changed Logging.DebugAssert to throw only in DEBUG builds.
- Limited s_runtimeIDToType to GHOST_EDITOR builds in Component and ManagedComponent registries.

-Use this instructions when writing a git commit message
-
-The first line should be a single line with no more than 50 characters that summary the changes. The second line should be blank. Start at the third line for actual changes.
-
-The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
-
-Commits MUST be prefixed with a type, which consists of a noun, feat, fix, etc., followed by the OPTIONAL scope, OPTIONAL !, and REQUIRED terminal colon and space. The type feat MUST be used when a commit adds a new feature to your application or library. The type fix MUST be used when a commit represents a bug fix for your application. A scope MAY be provided after a type. A scope MUST consist of a noun describing a section of the codebase surrounded by parenthesis, e.g., fix(parser) A description MUST immediately follow the colon and space after the typescope prefix. The description is a short summary of the code changes, e.g., fix array parsing issue when multiple spaces were contained in string. A longer commit body MAY be provided after the short description, providing additional contextual information about the code changes. The body MUST begin one blank line after the description. A commit body is free-form and MAY consist of any number of newline separated paragraphs. One or more footers MAY be provided one blank line after the body. Each footer MUST consist of a word token, followed by either a  or # separator, followed by a string value (this is inspired by the git trailer convention). A footer’s token MUST use - in place of whitespace characters, e.g., Acked-by (this helps differentiate the footer section from a multi-paragraph body). An exception is made for BREAKING CHANGE, which MAY also be used as a token. A footer’s value MAY contain spaces and newlines, and parsing MUST terminate when the next valid footer tokenseparator pair is observed. Breaking changes MUST be indicated in the typescope prefix of a commit, or as an entry in the footer. If included as a footer, a breaking change MUST consist of the uppercase text BREAKING CHANGE, followed by a colon, space, and description, e.g., BREAKING CHANGE environment variables now take precedence over config files. If included in the typescope prefix, breaking changes MUST be indicated by a ! immediately before the . If ! is used, BREAKING CHANGE MAY be omitted from the footer section, and the commit description SHALL be used to describe the breaking change. Types other than feat and fix MAY be used in your commit messages, e.g., docs update ref docs. The units of information that make up Conventional Commits MUST NOT be treated as case-sensitive by implementors, with the exception of BREAKING CHANGE which MUST be uppercase. BREAKING-CHANGE MUST be synonymous with BREAKING CHANGE, when used as a token in a footer.

-# Architecture Plan: Scene Graph and Scene Representation
-
-The Scene Graph is a hierarchical structure that represents all the objects and entities within a 3D scene in the Ghost Editor.
-
-## Scene Graph (Editor representation of runtime data)
-
-There should be three main types of nodes in the Scene Graph for now:
-
-1. **Scene Graph Node**: The base class for all nodes in the Scene Graph.
-2. **Entity Node**: Represents an individual entity within a scene. Name stored here, not runtime component.
-3. **Scene Node**: Represents a Scene object, which can contain multiple entities. Name stored here not runtime data.
-
-### Editor World
-
-Editor contains a different world compares to the runtime world. When user click the Play button, we will create a runtime world and load the scene data from the editor world to the runtime world.
-This allows us to
-
-1. Unload the runtime only systems like physics, rendering, etc when user stop playing.
-2. Load editor only systems like gizmos, debug, etc when user stop playing.
-3. Allow editor only entities like editor camera, editor lights, etc to exist in the editor world without affecting the runtime world.
-
-### Editor Hierarchy
-
-The Scene Graph should be represented as a tree structure in the editor (TreeView in WinUI 3), where:
-
-- The top level nodes represents the loaded Scenes in the editor world.
-- Levels below the Scene nodes represents the Entity nodes that belong to that scene.
-- Each Entity node can have child Entity nodes representing parent-child relationships between entities.
-
-An example hierarchy could look like this:
-
-```
-- Scene 1
-  - Entity A
-    - Entity B
-  - Entity C
-- Scene 2
-    - Entity D
-```
-
-## Scene (The runtime representation)
-
-A Scene is a collection of entities with SceneID component from a world that are grouped together. There can be multiple scenes in a world.
-
-### Save a Scene
-
-When save a scene, all entities with the SceneID component matching the scene's ID should be included in the saved data.
-When an Entity references another Entity in the same scene, we should store the file local id instead of the global entity id.
-For example, if Entity A (id: 10, 5th in scene) references Entity B (id: 20, 50th in scene) in the same scene, in the saved data for Entity A,
-we should store 50 (the file local id) as the reference to Entity B instead of 20 (the global entity id).
-
-> We does not allow cross-scene references for now because ideally it's not a good practice to have cross-scene references.
-> We can use query or singleton pattern to access entities from other scenes if needed because they are in the same world.
-
-### Load a Scene
-
-When loading a scene, we need to reconstruct the entities and their relationships based on the saved data.
-
-1. We allocate the entities in the world and assign them new global entity IDs.
-2. We remap the file local IDs to the new global entity IDs and change the references accordingly.
-   For example if Entity A (file local id: 5) references Entity B (file local id: 50) in the saved data,
-   we need to find the new global entity IDs for both entities after loading and update the reference in Entity A to point to the new global entity ID of Entity B.
-
-### Data format
-
-The scene data should be stored in a structured format (JSON and binary) that includes:
-
-- List of entities with their components and properties (Entities must in the order that file local id directly maps to the index in the list)
-- References between entities using file local IDs
-
-> The name of the saved scene file should match the name of the scene node in the editor.
-
-JSON should only be used in the editor and JSON serialization/deserialization logic should also only exist in the editor codebase (Ghost.Editor.Core). Reflection is allowed here.
-Binary format should be used in the runtime for better performance. The runtime codebase (Ghost.Engine) must be aot compatible.
-
-Currently we strict the IComponent to must be unmanaged and blittable types.
-However, we also support ManagedEntity and ManagedEntityRef with ScriptComponent to allow OOP like logic for common gameplay logic that DOD pattern is not suitable for.
-Serializing/deserializing with those components will be tricky. We can use MemoryPack (already installed) for binary serialization/deserialization because it supports both unmanaged and managed types.
-
-## What need to implement
-
-- [ ] Scene type for the runtime representation if needed
-- [ ] Scene Graph data structures (SceneNode, EntityNode)
-- [ ] Editor World management (loading/unloading scenes, managing entities)
-- [ ] Scene saving/loading logic with file local ID remapping
-- [ ] Serialization/deserialization logic for scene data (JSON for editor, binary for runtime)
-- [ ] UI integration for displaying and managing the Scene Graph in the editor with WinUI 3 TreeView
