Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.
I have solution with a mix of .cshtml and .razor files (moving from MVC to mixed MVC/Razor components). I have a paradigm where my view models have HtmlString/IHtmlContent fields that could be correctly displayed in .cshtml files just be directly referencing.
HtmlString/IHtmlContent doesn't supported in Razor component, so I have to use MarkupString there.
MarkupString is more lightweight marker concept, and doesn't require framework reference to whole ASP.NET server — I like it.
However, .cshtml renderer doesn't support MarkupString, so I have to manually add Html.Raw here. I don't like it.
### Describe the solution you'd like
1. MarkupString supported in .cshtml files and doesn't re-encoded.
2. Ideally, MarkupString moved even higher in dependecies stack into some MS.Ext. assembly, totally untied from ASP.NET and will become universally recognized "html marker" class.
