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.
