Description

* Discussion: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/8972

## Summary
[summary]: #summary

I propose updating the C# language specification to define a `` block-level element in the context of XML documentation comments. The `` element has a `type` attribute, which is allowed to be any identifier but the following note types are predefined:

* `note`: A general note. This is the default if the `type` attribute is omitted.
* `implement`: Note to implementers
* `caller`: Note to callers
* `inherit`: Note to inheritors
* `important`: An important note
* `security`: A security note
