Support IReadOnlyDictionary as JsonExtensionData

[Copilot]

Adds support for using IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object> and IReadOnlyDictionary<string, JsonElement> as JsonExtensionData properties, enabling them to work identically to IDictionary types.

Changes Made

• Validation: Updated IsValidExtensionDataProperty to accept IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object> and IReadOnlyDictionary<string, JsonElement> interface types
• Instantiation: Modified CreateExtensionDataProperty to create mutable Dictionary instances for IReadOnlyDictionary properties
• Pre-populated Support: When an IReadOnlyDictionary extension data property is pre-initialized with values, deserialization now:
  • Creates a new Dictionary seeded with existing contents
  • Adds deserialized extension data to the new instance
  • Overwrites duplicate keys with deserialized values
• Documentation: Updated JsonExtensionDataAttribute XML documentation to reflect IReadOnlyDictionary support
• Source Generator: Updated source generator validation logic to recognize IReadOnlyDictionary types
• Tests: Added comprehensive tests covering:
  • Round-trip serialization/deserialization with IReadOnlyDictionary extension data
  • Both object and JsonElement value types
  • Null/empty extension data handling
  • Pre-populated dictionary seeding and key overwriting behavior
  • Integration with existing property serialization

Implementation Details

The implementation creates a mutable Dictionary<TKey, TValue> instance internally when deserializing to an IReadOnlyDictionary extension data property. This approach mirrors how JsonSerializer handles other read-only collection interfaces - by instantiating a mutable concrete type, populating it, and assigning it to the read-only interface property.

For pre-populated properties, the existing dictionary contents are preserved by copying them to the new Dictionary instance before deserialization adds additional key-value pairs, with duplicate keys being overwritten by the deserialized values.

Compatibility

This change is fully backward compatible. Existing code using IDictionary extension data properties continues to work unchanged. The implementation reuses existing serialization/deserialization infrastructure, ensuring consistent behavior between IDictionary and IReadOnlyDictionary extension data properties.

Fixes #31645

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Support using any dictionary as JsonExtensionData</issue_title>
<issue_description>IMHO, IReadOnlyDictionary should work identical to IDictionary when using with JsonExtensionData attribute.

[JsonExtensionData]
public IReadOnlyDictionary<string, JsonElement> Payload { get; set; }

Currently it fails with error:

System.InvalidOperationException: The data extension property 'Payload' does not match the required signature of IDictionary<string, JsonElement> or IDictionary<string, object>.

This is analogous to collection properties which can be defined as List<T>, IList<T> or IReadOnlyList<T> etc.</issue_description>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@safern > 'C:\Projects\dotnet-runtime\artifacts\bin\System.Text.Json.Tests\Debug\System.Text.Json.Tests.dll' is valid.

Anipik it seems like the path is missing the TFM, was this fixed with yesterday's PR as well?

I think if you don't open with build -vs ... you won't be able to run the tests because we're setting some environment variables needed for VSTest to run against the lively built shared framework. If it didn't open with preview, you might be missing the Preview devenv in the path, or you're opening a developer command prompt that is not preview, could you make sure that is not the case? </comment_new>

@Romanx I assume you don't work on that anymore. This will be much easier to fix once populating objects is supported. There is a chance I will address this as part of that work but no promises (even if I don't it's going to be much easier to do).</comment_new>

Pull Request Overview

This PR extends JsonExtensionData support to include IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object> and IReadOnlyDictionary<string, JsonElement> as valid extension data property types, alongside the existing IDictionary support.

• Adds validation logic to accept IReadOnlyDictionary interface types when Dictionary can be assigned to them
• Updates instantiation logic to create Dictionary instances for IReadOnlyDictionary extension data properties
• Enhanced documentation to reflect the new supported types

@copilot, there are test failures:

Fixed in commit 3f9c7dc. The source generator's IsValidDataExtensionPropertyType method has been updated to also accept IReadOnlyDictionary types (with the same assignability check to exclude ImmutableDictionary), and the new test classes have been registered in both source generation contexts.
