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

```
$ lintian-explain-tags source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file
P: source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file
N:
N: The following file is autogenerated by Microsoft Visual C++.
N:
N: They are usually provided for the convenience of users. These files usually just take up space
N: in the tarball and are of no use in Debian.
N:
N: Check if upstream also provides source-only tarballs that you can use as the upstream
N: distribution instead. If not, you may want to ask upstream to provide source-only tarballs.

N: Visibility: pedantic
N: Show-Always: no
