The EEClassHashTable implementation failed to use a hash function which included enclosing types, and has a variety of other deficiencies where it does unnecessary work. Include the enclosing type in the hash function, and reduce the amount of code duplication in the hash table.

In addition, I'm taking this opportunity to clean up the implementation substantially, creating a single path for insertion, and lookup.

…class

- Move namespace/name splitting to the Type.GetType code paths
- Move exported type handling into the normal PopulateAvailableClass flow
- Remove unnecessary work done to detect typedef name duplicates. We don't attempt to protect against invaild assemblies anymore
- Unify path for insertion between ExportedType and TypeDef records, also unify the path for nested vs non-nested
- Fix logic which implements inserts into the case insensitive table when dynamically adding entries to the ExportedType table (Previously it didn't work)
- Update the ECMA 335 augments to capture the requirement that nested ExportedTypes must have a higher RID than the enclosing ExportedType
  - This requirement has actually always existed since .NET 1.0, but was never recorded
…is a linear scan of the entire typedef table, and we already have the right hash to make this cheap
- Also make the code more DAC correct (probably not completely correct, but this logic does not appear to actually be used within the DAC)

Before checkin, I need to validate that we actually have some tests for the TypeRef that points at a TypeDef scenario. (The code change related to this has been remove from this PR and moved to #95297)

A few nits, but overall looks like a win.

Right?

What is cqb? I don't see that anywhere in here.

It isn't there at all. This comment is confusing as it refers to a state in the code which hasn't existed in decades. I've tried to fix up the comment to make some amount of sense, but in general everything to do with the case insensitive table is nonsense.

Remove NULL and use empty SArray<EEClassHashEntry_t *>?

Sure. I did it for the other case.
