Make sure that includes are always surrounded by empty lines (#2270)
When an include is not surrounded by empty lines, its content is inlined
on the same line as the adjacent content. That can lead to broken tags
and other display issues.
This PR fixes all such includes and introduces a validation step that
forbids introducing the same problem again.

== Why is this an issue?
There's no point in having a ``++public++`` member in a non-``++public++`` type because objects that can't access the type will never have the chance to access the member.
This rule raises an issue when a type has methods, fields, or inner types with higher visibility than the type itself has.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,csharp]
----
internal class MyClass
{
public static decimal PI = 3.14m; // Noncompliant
public int GetOne() // Noncompliant
{
return 1;
}
protected record NestedType // Noncompliant: outer class is internal
{
public bool FlipCoin() // Noncompliant: outer class is internal
{
return false;
}
// ...
}
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,csharp]
----
public class MyClass // Class visibility upgrade makes members compliant
{
public static decimal PI = 3.14m;
public int GetOne()
{
return 1;
}
protected record NestedType
{
public bool FlipCoin() // Outer type is public
{
return false;
}
// ...
}
}
----
=== Exceptions
User defined operators need to be public:
[source,csharp]
----
public static implicit operator byte(MyClass a) => 1; // Compliant
public static explicit operator MyClass(byte a) => new MyClass(a); // Compliant
----
Nested types, even if private, can be used and inherited in the parent type. In this case, the visibility of the outer type is considered.
[source,csharp]
----
internal class MyClass
{
private class NestedClass
{
public int PublicProperty { get; } // Noncompliant: should be internal
protected internal int ProtectedInternalProperty { get; } // Compliant: can be used in `InternalsVisibleTo` assemblies
internal int InternalProperty { get; } // Compliant: can be used in `InternalsVisibleTo` assemblies
protected int ProtectedProperty { get; } // Compliant: can be used in derived type
private protected int PrivateProtectedProperty { get; } // Compliant: can be used in derived type
private int PrivateProperty { get; }
}
}
