[assembly-preparer] Subclass AssemblyModifierStep in ListExportedSymbols.

[rolfbjarne]

This makes it easier to keep track of which steps modified assemblies and which didn't.

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR updates the ListExportedSymbols linker step (when ASSEMBLY_PREPARER is enabled) to derive from AssemblyModifierStep, aligning it with the assembly-preparer pattern where steps explicitly report whether they modified an assembly (and should therefore be persisted through the AppBundleRewriter).

Changes:

• Switch ListExportedSymbols (assembly-preparer build) from ConfigurationAwareStep to AssemblyModifierStep.
• Refactor assembly filtering logic into a shared HasSymbols (AssemblyDefinition assembly) helper used by both build modes.
• Implement ModifyAssembly/ProcessType/ProcessMethod overrides so assembly modifications are tracked via boolean return values.
