Source generator must always prepend all usings and namespace references with `global::`

[xperiandri]

Current behavior

The source generator does not always prepend all usings and namespace references with `global::``

Expected behavior

The source generator does always prepend all usings and namespace references with `global::``

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

Create any class in the namespace <SolutionName>.Windows.
After that, you won't be able to build the app because of the namespace issue in the code generated from App.xaml

Workaround

Do not use namespaces that contain Windows in their segment

@jeromelaban can anyone point out where this happens and what tests to execute?

[jeromelaban]

@xperiandri this would be in https://github.com/unoplatform/uno/tree/master/src/SourceGenerators/Uno.UI.SourceGenerators.netcore.Tests, as we're already doing some testing there for these scenarios.
