This small change adds rendered templates to the compilation source (instead of file system) if the render path has a .cs extension and is within the project directory (that the source generator is running for). For all other templates, the rendering behavior remains the same. This still allows a project to generate .cs files to the file system if they are not within the project.
A limitation is that filenames must be unique for rendered .cs templates because the source generator needs a unique name. This is unlikely to be an issue for most people.
Usage:
{{ Save output "PartialClass.g.cs" }} - adds the rendered template to compilation source
{{ Save output "../Path/Outside/Project/SomethingElse.g.cs" }} - renders template to file system (existing behavior) because resulting path is not within the project where source generator is running
