Description
What do you think about adding a refactoring option to move a hard-coded string to a `.resx` file?
For example:
`throw new ArgumentException("Invalid username.", nameof(username));`
Changes to:
`throw new ArgumentException(Strings.Invalidusername, nameof(username));`
Refactoring operation must add a Strings.resx file to project (if not exists) and generate required properties. Maybe user be able to select different `.resx` files from a list?
Do you think it's a good idea?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Roslynator's existing refactoring implementations and resource-generation handling, then define how a hard-coded string is selected, how a .resx file and properties are generated, and whether users can choose among resource files. Done would require an agreed scope and tests covering these behaviors.
