Description
**Describe the bug**
Class/Property/Field attribute is not included if attribute has no constructor.
**To Reproduce**
Execute `docfx metadata` command to following source.
```
using System;
namespace Sample
{
public class Test1Attribute : Attribute
{
}
public class Test2Attribute : Attribute
{
public Test2Attribute() { }
}
[Test1]
[Test2]
public class Class1
{
}
}
```
**Generated API metadata for `Test1.Class1.yml` **
```
- uid: Sample.Class1
attributes:
- type: Sample.Test2Attribute
ctor: Sample.Test2Attribute.#ctor
```
**Expected behavior**
`TestAttribute1` should be contained as class attributes.
**Context (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Windows
- Docfx version: 2.75.2
**Additional context**
It seems to be excluded by `symbol.IsImplicitlyDeclared` checks at following code.
