Convert DataValue from class to readonly struct for further GC relief ( #3796 )
...
Convert `DataValue` from a mutable reference type (`class`) to a `readonly struct` to eliminate per-allocation GC pressure on every attribute read, subscription publish, and history sample.
### Key API changes (user-visible)
| Before | After | Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| `class DataValue` | `readonly struct DataValue : INullable` | Foundation |
| `Equals(DataValue?)` / `operator ==(DataValue?, DataValue?)` | `Equals(DataValue)` / `operator ==(DataValue, DataValue)` | Value semantics |
| `IEncoder.WriteDataValue(string?, DataValue?)` | `IEncoder.WriteDataValue(string?, DataValue)` | Non-nullable wire API |
| `IDecoder.ReadDataValue(...) -> DataValue?` | `IDecoder.ReadDataValue(...) -> DataValue` | Same |
| `IDataChangeMonitoredItemQueue.PeekLast/Oldest()` | `TryPeekLastValue/Oldest(out DataValue)` | TryGet pattern |
| `IAggregateCalculator.GetProcessedValue(bool)` | `TryGetProcessedValue(bool, out DataValue)` | Same |
| `IUaPubSubDataStore.ReadPublishedDataItem(...)` | `TryReadPublishedDataItem(NodeId, uint, out DataValue)` | Same |
| `Dictionary<uint, DataValue?>` (NodeCacheContext) | `Dictionary<uint, DataValue>` | Default + IsNull |
| `IHistoryDataSource.FirstRaw/NextRaw` | `TryFirstRaw/TryNextRaw(out DataValue)` | TryGet pattern |
| `NodeState.ReadAttribute(... DataValue)` | `NodeState.ReadAttribute(... ref DataValue)` | Sync mutation via ref |
| `NodeState.ReadAttributeAsync(... DataValue)` | `NodeState.ReadAttributeAsync(...) -> ValueTask<(ServiceResult, DataValue)>` | Async return tuple |
| `obj as DataValue` (heterogeneous Dictionary<string, object>) | `obj is DataValue dv ? dv : default(DataValue)` | Safe struct cast |
| `Assert.That(dv, Is.Not.Null)` (tests) | `Assert.That(dv.IsNull, Is.False)` | Struct test pattern |
| `[Obsolete] Value` setter, all property setters | Removed; use ctor or `With*()` | Immutability |
| `[DataContract]` + `[DataMember]` | Removed; surrogate via `SerializableDataValue` + `DataValueSurrogateProvider` | Serialization |
### Wire format
Wire format is **byte-identical** to the previous class-based implementation across binary / JSON / XML encoders. Default DataValue (`.IsNull == true`) is treated as the equivalent of the old null reference (writes JSON `null`, binary `byte 0`, XML omitted element).
### Why TryGet pattern (instead of leaving `DataValue?`)
For methods that previously returned `DataValue?` to signal "no value available" (queue peek, aggregate result, data store lookup, history navigation), the conversion to `bool TryGet(out DataValue)` matches BCL conventions (`Dictionary.TryGetValue`, `Queue.TryPeek`, `Int32.TryParse`) and gives the caller an explicit "may be absent" affordance without `Nullable<DataValue>` overhead.
### Breaking changes summary
- `DataValue` is now a `readonly struct` - boxing/unboxing semantics change for callers using `object`-typed APIs.
- `IEncoder.WriteDataValue` / `IDecoder.ReadDataValue` / `ReadDataValueArray` interface signatures lose the `Nullable` wrapper.
- `IDataChangeMonitoredItemQueue.PeekLastValue` / `PeekOldestValue` -> `TryPeekLastValue` / `TryPeekOldestValue` (out parameter).
- `IAggregateCalculator.GetProcessedValue` -> `TryGetProcessedValue` (out parameter).
- `IUaPubSubDataStore.ReadPublishedDataItem` -> `TryReadPublishedDataItem` (out parameter).
- `NodeState.ReadAttribute` takes `ref DataValue`; `ReadAttributeAsync` returns `ValueTask<(ServiceResult, DataValue)>`.
- `DataValue` property setters removed (use constructor + `With*` mutators).

Code clean up and improvements ( #3532 )
...
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.
