This pull request modernizes the OPC UA .NET codebase and tests, removes .NET Standard 2.0 support from certificate/security code, and updates test code to use C# 12 and .NET 8+ features for clarity and maintainability.
- Certificate and BouncyCastle interop files (e.g., CertificateBuilder.cs, X509Extensions.cs, X509SignatureFactory.cs) are refactored to drop NETSTANDARD2_0 support and use modern .NET APIs and conditional compilation.
- Test code across the codebase is updated to use default, strongly-typed Parse methods, collection expressions, and improved async/await patterns.
- Exception handling and assertions in tests are modernized, and test method naming is made consistent with Async suffixes.
- The project and build files are updated to clarify Roslynator analyzer usage and remove obsolete netstandard tags.
- General code and test cleanup includes improved null safety, type safety, and removal of deprecated or unused code.
- Reduce memory allocations in JSON encoder by using stackalloc/ArrayPool
- Fix some new warnings in .NET9 code analyzers
- Fix fuzzing error in JsonDecoder
- do not use .NET9 libraries with .NET8 LTS builds #2931, #2940
- Bump langversion to 9 (max VS2019)
- Use official ASP.Net 2.3. libraries for .NET Framework (rel. Jan 15th)
- Improve formatting and log strings for new alarm node managers.
- Remove the TestData Alarms as they cause issues in the CTT tests
- Add a -ctt option to start the alarms endless for testing, stop alarms in other node managers.
- Unify the way the node managers are created in the quickstarts sample.
- Bring back 'dummy' appveyor config to disable the builds.
- fix codecov build
- add a few more unrelated tests
