Issue Description

This PR https://github.com/SpecFlowOSS/SpecFlow/pull/2410 remove the virtual from the generated methods, so plugins like the SharedSteps stopped working.

Please bring back the virtual.

Steps to Reproduce

Any feature.cs generated with version 3.9.52 gets virtual methods. If the package is updated to 3.9.58, the methods became final (non-virtual). And any plugin who uses proxy to intercept those methods will stop working.

Ok, this was not on purpose. But these methods were also not meant to be used for plugins.

If you send us a PR to redo the change, I merge it in. But it will only be included in 3.10.
