Improve Exception message: Cannot bind to constructor parameters

[Cooksauce]

Error when running Add-Migration:
System.InvalidOperationException: No suitable constructor found for entity type 'ImmutableEntity'. The following constructors had parameters that could not be bound to properties of the entity type: cannot bind 'id', 'description' in 'ImmutableEntity(long id, string description)'.

Entity

public class ImmutableEntity
{
     public ImmutableEntity(long id, string description)
     {
          Id = id;
          Description = description ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(description));
     }

     public long Id { get; }
     public string Description { get; }
}

Reproduces with no other entities defined. Based on #10703, it seems like this should work. What are the requirements for EF to bind to the constructor params?

Further technical details

EF Core version: 3.1.0
Database provider: Npgsql
Target framework: .NET Core 3.0

Whoops... didn't consider EF ignoring readonly properties by convention.

Fix: Call builder.Property(x => x.Id) and builder.Property(x => x.Description) so EF maps these properties. (and thus can bind them to the constructor params)

Suggestion

Add the following to the exception message:
EF may be ignoring readonly property(s) by convention. Consider calling 'Property(x => x.<YourProperty>)' to map a readonly property.

OR

Found readonly property(s) ['Id', 'Description'] which may be getting ignored by convention. Consider calling 'Property(x => x.<YourProperty>)' to map a readonly property.

It might be a good idea to also inform users if they're trying to bind a navigation property. I just tried to use it this way and it was not at all clear that this doesn't work.
