Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Creating shaders without the visual studio extension makes it a bit tedious to do shaders for a beginner.

Describe the solution you'd like
A source generator that would parse the shaders for cbuff parameters and generate the appropriate file.

Additional context
This would help newcomers start without issues when using shaders in the first place + would make the generated files invisible

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or existing entry points. Start by locating Stride's shader-processing and generated-file paths, then determine how cbuffer parameters are currently handled without the Visual Studio extension. Done means a source generator parses shader cbuffers and produces the appropriate generated files.
