Issues addressed by this PR

Closes #3618

As mentioned in the issue, the solution in this PR focuses on two aspects:

• Removing the dependency to assembly qualified names (they should not be found anywhere in the json)
• Simplify the deserialisation of methods by removing the need to deserialise the types of the arguments.

There is a separate commit for each of those. Note that is is critical for the deserialisation to support both versions of the json to guarantee that the legacy json format is supported.

There are then two additional commits directly related:

• Adding support for versioning of the new serialisation methods
• Toggle to control whether the new serialisation is used or not. The chosen approach for now is to keep the legacy serialisation for a few milestones but with the dual deserialisation already merged. This way, we limit the risk of problems when someone saves a script with the new serialiser and shares it with a person that is on an older version of the BHoM.

Then, because I am also looking at the strongly related issue of lazy loading for Revit, I have added two commits to this PR:

• Add support for lazy loading of assemblies in additional Engine methods. This was found when I was working on the lazy loading but highlights issues with the existing code so needed to be fixed regardless. Basically, a few places were missed when implementing the lazy loading. This commit tries to correct that.
• Record the assemblies with extraction issues. This is purely for the incoming refactoring of the AssemblyResolver so it could have been done in a separate PR but it is purely a new separate feature so I didn't think it was harmful to have it already. And it makes my life a lot easier when juggling two related issues at once.

Test files

I'll write something tomorrow but wanted to, at least, have the PR created.
@IsakNaslundBh, you'll be the main reviewer on this so let's have a catchup sometime this week.
