The CS0449 compiler error documentation was outdated and only mentioned 'class' and 'struct' constraints, but the current compiler error message includes additional constraint types: 'unmanaged', 'notnull', and 'default'.
This PR updates the documentation to:
class
andnotnull
(invalid in nullable context sinceclass
impliesnotnull
)unmanaged
andstruct
(invalid sinceunmanaged
impliesstruct
)unmanaged
constraintnotnull
anddefault
constraintsclass
already impliesnotnull
in nullable contextsThe updated documentation now provides developers with complete information about all constraint combinations that can cause CS0449 errors, making it easier to understand and resolve these compilation issues.
Fixes #30785.
