Description
Transferred WPF specific files from https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/58632 originally logged by @dviererbe
### Describe the Bug
I was running lintian (static analysis tool for deb packages) in pedantic mode and it made suggestion to remove auto generated files from the source. I just wanted to share these remarks here, in case they may be useful. These files seem not to be important for Linux source built.
```
P: dotnet9 source: source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file [src/wpf/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf/src/PenImc/dll/resource.h]
```
### Steps to Reproduce
Files in the corresponding repositories:
- [`src/wpf/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf/src/PenImc/dll/resource.h`](https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/blob/main/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf/src/PenImc/dll/resource.h)
### Other Information
```
