           [linker] added workaround for invalid type forwards
   
            - fixes #57645
   
            - ignore invalid forwards of nested types of exported forwarded
              types, which were added by a bug in csc. description by Marek Safar
              from https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=57645#c13
   
                Native csc (pre-Roslyn version) when encountered typeforwarded
                type it added automatically all its nested types including
                private/protected/internal ones.  This bug was fixed in Roslyn
                csc but there are still many assemblies compiled with native csc
                (pre VS2015) which can have typeforwarded typeref to a type which
                is not available because it's not included in public API.
   
            - ignoring these forwarders here should be harmless, because if these
              types were used somewhere in the application, the linker would fail
              in the mark step, when trying to resolve the typereference to them
   
            - also added throwing the LoadException in case of missing non-nested
              forwarded exported types, instead of just crashing with
              System.NullReferenceException
