Support Roslyn code-analysis

[paulturner-pg]

🤔 What's the problem you're trying to solve?

I'd like to be able to use the Gherkin parser within the .NET code-analysis and code-generators ecosystem.

✨ What's your proposed solution?

An implementation of a parser which returned a syntax tree deriving from Microsoft.SyntaxNode would enable integration, allowing the components to treat Gherkin as a first-class language.

⛏ Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

At present, implementing an adapter between the output of the existing parser and a new syntax tree is possible, but would come with a performance cost and would never be able to take advantage of the incremental parsing system.

📚 Any additional context?

Whilst looking at building a code-generator for executing Gherkin-based scenarios, it became obvious that for .NET, the Roslyn analysers and code-generators are the way forward.
