- #2969
- add `ModelBindingMessages` for configuration and `IBindingMetadataProvider` overrides
- use `interface` to avoid `new` oddities when adding a setter to an `abstract` property
- add `IModelBindingMessages` to `ModelMetadata` for use in rest of the product code
- plumb the various bits through the system
- add integration tests using a custom `IBindingMetadataProvider`s to override messages
nits:
- remove unused resources
- use `AttemptedValue` and not `model` in `SimpleTypeModelBinder`
- #2992
- use new properties to replace common helper methods
- still a few `Nullable.GetUnderlyingType()` calls
- creating `ModelMetadata` or sites lacking `ModelMetadata` access e.g. `ModelBindingHelper.ConvertTo()`
- #2664
- use new property to correctly determine `isTargetEnum` in `GetCurrentValues()`
- avoid `ArgumentNullException` in all cases where raw values are `enum` but target is not
- stop skipping tests blocked by #2664, exposing a couple more #1487 issues
- use new property instead of private `GetElementType()` methods where possible
- cleans up some duplicate code
- also remove redundant use of `IsCollectionType` and `ElementMetadata`
nits:
- move properties above methods in `ModelMetadata`
- avoid accidentally-incorrect "Remove Unnecessary Usings"
