Autofac: Delegate factory with parameter name 'value' throws

[msv2017]

Describe the Bug

Delegate factory throws on instance activation when it has parameter with name value

Steps to Reproduce

```c#
public interface ISomeService { }
public class SomeService : ISomeService { }

public class MyComponent
{
public ISomeService Service { get; set; }
public delegate MyComponent Factory(string value);

public MyComponent(string value)
{
}

}

public class ReproTest
{
[Fact]
public void Test()
{
// Arrange
var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.RegisterType().As();
builder.RegisterType().PropertiesAutowired();
var container = builder.Build();

    // Act
    var factory = container.Resolve<MyComponent.Factory>();

    // Assert
    Assert.NotNull(factory("Autofac is great!"));
}

}

```

Expected Behavior

Delegate factory should produce properly activated component with Service property resolved.

Exception with Stack Trace

Autofac.Core.DependencyResolutionException : An exception was thrown while activating UnitTests.MyComponent.
---- System.InvalidCastException : Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'UnitTests.ISomeService'.

Dependency Versions

Autofac: 6.2.0

Additional Info

What I've tried so far:

• changing delegate factory parameter name to something else fixed the issue
• changing parameter type to other type (e.g. string, object) without changing the name still throws

So, to work around the issue, delegate factory should not have parameter with name value.

I am able to reproduce the issue using the above code.

The full exception with stack trace is:

The exception source is actually in the property injector, and, sure enough, if you remove PropertiesAutowired then the name value doesn't matter at all. So there's something weird in the interaction of delegate factories and the property injection thing that is causing an issue.

Which makes a little more sense, as value is a reserved word when it comes to property getter/setter terminology.

[tillig]

I figured out the issue and laughed out loud because it totally makes sense.

In the AutoWiringPropertyInjector, each property getting autowired goes through some logic where it grabs the list of parameters available and checks to see if they can supply the instance that should be set on the property.

There are, of course, two ways a parameter can match:

• By _type_, so the parameter type matches the property type and that's considered a match.
• By _name_, which is mostly for constructor matching, but in the case of property setters, the input parameter name in a property setter is value, so... any parameter that's named value will be considered a match for the property setter input.

Basically, the delegate factory is passing in a named parameter value="Autofac is great!" and the property injector is like, "Oh, value is the name of the parameter to this set method, so... it matches!"

The 99.9% case is that parameters getting passed in here are _typed_ parameters, so it's safe to match like this. However, this little thing seems like a special case we'll just have to handle due to the reserved word overlap.
