           Summary: Adding properties to controls by subclassing
                    TypeDescriptionProvider isn't possible

Unit test to demonstrate the expected behaviour

As a control author, it is useful to provide new bindable properties at runtime
to existing  or 3rd party controls without subclassing.

TypeDescriptionProvider.AddProvider is a useful way of achieving this which is
not currently implemented correctly in mono.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Below is only summary. See the attached test case.
1. Subclass TypeDescriptionProvider and override GetTypeDescriptor.
2. Subclass CustomTypeDescriptor and override GetProperties to return a custom
property.
3. Call TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(object) and examine the properties
returned.


Actual Results:  
The overridden TypeDescriptionProvider is not used.

Expected Results:  
The overriden TypeDescriptionProvider should be used, and the custom property
returned from CustomTypeDescriptor.GetProperties() should be returned from
TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(object).
