The View Engine now needs to know about pages :(. This isn't ideal but the
view engine needs to know what set of search paths to use. This was
already hardcoded for controllers vs controllers + areas. It felt right to
further hardcode instead of introduce a wierd abstraction that we only
use.
Additionally pages use a view location expander to implement an ascending
directory search.
- #1999
- may have reordered the precedence comments as I double-checked the implementations
- `CheckBox()` and `RadioButton()` were examples of such updates
nits:
- use SSL in documentation links
- simplify mentions of format strings
- remove a few phrases that didn't say much and duplicated `<remarks>`
- `AdditionalCompilationReferences` is a purely additive option to add `MetadataReference` instances to be used for Razor compilation.
- Added a test to validate the compilation references get combined with the `ApplicationPartManager`s metadata references.
