These were written before I installed the CSharpier plugin so they were not formatted.
GetTypeInfo should be unnecessary since it gets the type of an expression. For non-type expressions (eg: `5` is an int), this isn't useful for us. This is arguably an indirect reference to int, but the current Silk generator only cares about modifying direct references. For type expressions (eg: `int` refers to int), GetSymbolInfo will also return the same symbol.
*Roslyn already caches this internally. This is mainly for avoiding the async method call. Difference is probably not measurable, but theoretically this is faster.
Conflict checking was O(n), now it is O(1).
This is to prevent false negatives from mismatched path formats.

…sync This change caused incorrect behavior since the document ids can come from projects other than the source project (namely the test project). This broken when semantic models were requested for test project documents from the source project compilation.

Self code review complete. My review comments point out why things are changed, but the code should make sense without them.
I've also regenerated the bindings using Windows to verify that no output changes have occurred.
