Contributions summary:Sedar primarily focused on migrating and refactoring core reflection-related types and APIs into `System.Private.CoreLib`. This involved moving code from `System.Private.Reflection` and other libraries, streamlining dependencies, and addressing compatibility issues, particularly concerning UWP. The user also added stubs for missing APIs, and integrated a newer version of the globalization native library for Unix systems by consuming the Microsoft.NETCore.Native package. This work demonstrates a significant contribution to the foundational libraries of the .NET Core runtime.
