Subject: Projects in 'build' and Slang API separation (#1624)

* #include an absolute path didn't work - because paths were taken to always be relative.

* Move reflection to reflection-api.

* Slight reorg to pull out potentially Slang internal functions from the reflection API impls.

* Remove visual studio projects

* Fix for slang-binaries copy.

* Add the visual studio projects in build/visual-studio

* Remove miniz project.

* Differentiate the linePath from the filePath.

* Improve comment in premake5.lua + to kick of CI.

* Kick CI.
