Limit a type to 65K methods.

Ensure that while writing the assembly, ensure that no type has more than approx 64K. Includes property setters/getters/constructors and event methods.

Technically this is a breaking change, however, a type with more than 64K methods, will not be loadable at runtime by the CLR, so warning on compilation is a vast improvement.

I have added a couple of test cases but we may want to disable them as they add about 8 minutes to the test execution time.

That "64k methods ought to be good enough for anyone" fable must be true.
