Stacked on #197 (same Add-mode switch and the same guard family) — review that one first; this diff is small on top of it.

A member implementing SqlMapper.ICustomQueryParameter — a TVP from AsTableValuedParameter (on a DataTable or an IEnumerable<SqlDataRecord>) being the common case — previously bound as a single raw parameter. The generated AddParameters now calls value.AddParameter(command, name), which is the whole vanilla contract; a null reference-typed member throws with vanilla's exact message (inlined rather than via the obsolete ThrowNullCustomQueryParameter, so no version dependency), and a struct member gets no null test. CanPrepare is cleared since the parameter declares no DbType.

The #197 guards generalise: expandable and custom members are both self-binding — they contribute an unknowable number of parameters — so the same parse-side rules apply: no command caching, skip multi-exec, and skip alongside output/return parameters (PostProcess reads those back by index).

Note a bare DataTable member (without AsTableValuedParameter) is not covered here: vanilla routes that through its default-registered DataTableHandler, so it belongs to the type-handler story.

New CustomParameters fixture covers interface-typed, class and struct members, a custom member alongside a plain one, and both skips. Against the Dapper test-suite harness this clears the TVP/custom-param group in ParameterTests on both SqlClient providers.

* Support list expansion (where X in @ids) by delegating to Dapper's own PackListParameters

An expandable (enumerable) member previously bound as a single raw parameter, which
fails at execution; now the generated AddParameters delegates to the public (obsolete,
"library usage only") SqlMapper.PackListParameters, which owns the whole in-list
contract: the SQL rewrite (including the empty-list and optimize-hint forms), per-item
parameters, DbString items, padding and string_split settings, and provider array
support. Calling the existing API means this works against every shipped Dapper, so no
feature-detection diagnostic is needed; the alternative - a fresh non-obsolete wrapper
in Dapper, probe-gated like the DynamicParameters overload - is a fair follow-up if we
would rather not lean on an [Obsolete] member from generated code.

Guard rails, all parse-side so the call-sites stay on vanilla Dapper rather than
misbehave:
- command caching is disabled for a factory with an expandable member (the parameter
  shape varies per call), and CanPrepare is cleared;
- multi-exec over elements with an expandable member is skipped (batch reuse updates
  parameters in-place, which cannot re-expand a list whose size changed);
- an expandable member alongside an output/return parameter is skipped (PostProcess
  reads those back by index, and expansion shifts every index after it).

The shared "p" local in AddParameters is now emitted only when some member still
needs it, since a factory whose members all expand otherwise declares it unused
(CS0168 in the consumer's build).

New ListExpansion fixture covers the three working shapes and both skips; the
TsqlTips golden moves off the raw bind, which was the broken behaviour.
