Backport of #62668 to release/6.0
Customer Impact
Fixes customer reported JSON source generation issues (#62374, #61772) where members of records defined in external assemblies are not included for (de)serialization, causing silent data loss. Multiple users reported this which suggests that it is not an edge-case scenario. There are currently no issues with records defined in the same assembly that invokes the source generator.
Testing
Tests for the customer scenarios have been added, along with variants to ensure that this is a complete fix.
Risk
Low. The code change is small and scoped to the issue. Changes introduced only affect usage of the source generator, and not System.Text.Json in general.
