Preserve all InternalsVisibleTo attributes in ILLink Trimmer

Removes previous special handling to only keep IVT attributes for
assemblies that were resolvable and marked at link time. This behaviour
could cause a noticeable difference in behaviour at runtime without emitting
any trim analysis warnings while providing no mechanism to retain the
attributes. The removal of these attributes provides only a neglible
size reduction.

Fixes #92582
