Pull request overview
This PR updates the .NET API reference documentation to remove references to legacy Visual Basic (.NET Framework-era) snippet projects and deletes corresponding VB snippet project/source files, aligning with the effort in #12713 to avoid investing in upgrading old VB snippet projects.
Changes:
- Removed VB snippet include directives from multiple ECMA XML reference docs where the corresponding VB snippet projects/sources are being removed.
- Deleted legacy VB snippet project files (
.vbproj) and associated VB code-behind/source files undersnippets/visualbasic/. - Removed several older VB sample assets (designer/generated VB files) that were only used by the deleted snippet projects.

Contributes to #12713.
VB code won't be backported to the dotnet/runtime repo, so no sense in spending time to upgrade old VB projects.
