Description
Actual behavior
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/vsbackup/nf-vsbackup-ivssbackupcomponents-addtosnapshotset
[in] VSS_PWSZ pwszVolumeName, is generated as an ushort instead of a VSS_PWSZ string (PCWSTR).
Also SetContext can use VSS_SNAPSHOT_CONTEXT as parameter rather than int.
Expected behavior
Generate correct signature.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a NativeMethods.txt containing IVssBackupComponents and inspect the generated signatures for AddToSnapshotSet and SetContext. Compare the generated parameter types with the VSS API documentation and the linked win32metadata context; done means the volume name uses the correct VSS_PWSZ string type and SetContext uses VSS_SNAPSHOT_CONTEXT.
