Add a method signature to ICodeFirstTypeProvider

[JanLenoch]

Motivation

The Delivery API allows filtering of content items by their type. The SDK allows for specifying strong types that reflect content types of those items. The developer may request strongly typed items via

var response = await DeliveryClient.GetItemsAsync<Article>(
    new EqualsFilter("system.type", "article"),
);

To remove the burden of specifying the type twice (see above), we've implemented a ContentTypeExtractor class that uses reflection to automatically add the EqualsFilter in the background.

To get around using reflection, we could make our code generators also generate a dictionary inside of an ICodeFirstTypeProvider class that would return a codename for a particular System.Type.

Howto

To make the above possible, add a GetCodename method to the ICodeFirstTypeProvider interface that accepts System.Type as a parameter.

Then, we could implement kontent-ai/model-generator-net#61 .

@JanLenoch and @petrsvihlik I updated to the latest 6.0.0 release, and need to now implement the new GetCodename method, but I wanted to know if I have it correct. Stubbing it in looks like this:

Now, I'm guessing that the code of that method wants the reverse of GetType to happen in GetCodename (convert the Type to a string representation)? But doesn't this seem like a lot of duplication? Or is the code gen tool updated to automatically do this for me now ?

Any guidance is appreciated.
