Allow editing contentfile from a package

Filing this item separately from #603 because we want to consider them individually because of timing issues.

When a package adds a file to a project it could be desired to edit it by the user and override the file in the package

Examples:

  1. The package bring a default configuration file
  2. The package bring a cs file that either has a bug, or the class needs to change from public to internal.

The suggestion is that an edit operation will bring up a dialog, that tells the user that he is overriding a file coming from a package.

The user can then edit the file, and save it in place, the build task will stop including the original file from the package.

It seems like editing is already allowed today, but it operates on the original file in the package, which seems like a glaring bug. Should this issue be converted into fixing that bug? Or should a separate bug be raised to stop allowing editing, until this feature is properly implemented?

Any update on this?
