Quality and reliability improvements

WPF1

- Addresses a hang when scrolling a list control where both these conditions are true:

  • UseLayoutRounding is enabled, and

  • The item margin is not a multiple of the rounding quantum.

(The quantum is a function of the DPI scaling in effect.)

- Addresses an exception "Height must be non-negative" that can occur when adding items or groups to the collection displayed by an ItemsControl.

- Addresses an issue where a shared ContextMenu stops displaying after it fails to display once because its owner was removed from the visual tree.

CLR2

- Addresses rare crashes and hangs that can appear in cases where a GC occurs while another thread is in the middle of certain special paths used to invoke shared-generic code from non-shared-generic contexts.
