Satellite assembly support in NativeAOT

[akoeplinger]

While working on NativeAOT for iOS support we noticed that satellite resource assemblies aren't loaded in NativeAOT.

This seems to be expected for now:

runtime/src/coreclr/tools/aot/ILCompiler.Build.Tasks/ComputeManagedAssembliesToCompileToNative.cs

Lines 167 to 170 in f6f7d89

	if (culture == "" || culture.Equals("neutral", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
	{
	// NativeAOT doesn't consume resource assemblies yet so skip them
	list.Add(taskItem);

Filing this issue to track enabling satellite assembly support.

I ran into this with the following code:

var manager = new ResourceManager ("monotouchtest.Welcome", typeof (ResourcesTest).Assembly);
Assert.AreEqual ("G'day!", manager.GetString ("String1", new CultureInfo ("en-AU")), "en-AU");

seems like this is something quite a few apps would need in order to be shippable.
