Fix MSTEST0020 codefix constructor placement - position after fields/static constructors

[Copilot]

The MSTEST0020 codefix (PreferConstructorOverTestInitialize) was placing newly created constructors at the end of the class instead of following C# coding conventions.

Problem

When applying the codefix to convert a [TestInitialize] method to a constructor in a class that doesn't already have a constructor, the new constructor was added at the end of the class:

// Before codefix
[TestClass]
public sealed class Test1
{
    private object _instanceVariable;

    [TestInitialize]
    public void Initialize()
    {
        _instanceVariable = new object();
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1() { }

    private void SomePrivateMethod() { }
}

// After codefix (OLD - incorrect placement)
[TestClass]
public sealed class Test1
{
    private object _instanceVariable;

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1() { }

    private void SomePrivateMethod() { }

    public Test1()  // ❌ Constructor at end of class
    {
        _instanceVariable = new object();
    }
}

Solution

Updated the codefix to place constructors at the appropriate position following C# conventions: after fields and static constructors, but before properties and methods.

// After codefix (NEW - correct placement)
[TestClass]
public sealed class Test1
{
    private object _instanceVariable;

    public Test1()  // ✅ Constructor after field, before methods
    {
        _instanceVariable = new object();
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1() { }

    private void SomePrivateMethod() { }
}

Implementation

• Replaced editor.AddMember() with smart positioning logic
• Finds the last field or static constructor in the class
• Uses editor.InsertAfter() to place the constructor at the appropriate location
• Falls back to placing at the TestInitialize method position if no fields/static constructors exist
• Preserves existing behavior for classes that already have constructors

Test Coverage

• Added test case for the reported scenario (fields + TestInitialize + methods)
• Verified compatibility with all existing test cases
• Confirmed proper placement after static constructors

Fixes #5938.

Let's not do it this way, and always insert in the position of the existing TestInitialize.

[Copilot]

Simplified the constructor placement logic to always insert at the TestInitialize method position instead of trying to find the optimal position after fields/static constructors. Updated test expectations accordingly. Commit c8610a6.
