Decouple extension version reporting from MTP AppVersion using MSBuild-generated build info while preserving CrashDump forward compatibility

[Copilot]

Extensions were reporting Version via Microsoft.Testing.Platform.Helpers.AppVersion.DefaultSemVer (through IVT), which incorrectly ties extension version identity to the loaded MTP version. This breaks version accuracy when extension and platform versions differ.

• Version source correction (extension-local, not platform-local)

  • Added a shared ExtensionVersion helper linked into each affected extension assembly.
  • Switched extension version resolution to the same MSBuild build-info template technique used by the core platform:
    • enabled <GenerateBuildInfo>true</GenerateBuildInfo> in each affected extension project
    • added BuildInfo.cs.template that generates an extension-local version constant at build time
  • Version properties now resolve from generated extension build info (ExtensionBuildVersion.Version) instead of AppVersion.DefaultSemVer.

• CrashDump forward-compatibility adjustment

  • Kept InternalsVisibleTo from Microsoft.Testing.Platform to Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CrashDump.
  • This is required for forward compatibility with previously shipped CrashDump extension binaries that still access platform internals at runtime.

• Touched extension areas

  • AzureDevOpsReport
  • CrashDump
  • HangDump
  • MSBuild
  • Retry
  • TrxReport
  • VSTestBridge

• Focused regression coverage

  • Added unit tests asserting representative extension providers read version from their own extension-local source rather than MTP AppVersion.

internal static class ExtensionVersion
{
    public const string DefaultSemVer = ExtensionBuildVersion.Version;
}

// before: public string Version => AppVersion.DefaultSemVer;
public string Version => ExtensionVersion.DefaultSemVer;

@copilot pipeline is red, please fix issues

Pushed a fix in 19b6c12 to address the pipeline issue path: I added an explicit System.Reflection import in ExtensionVersionTests and revalidated with warnings-as-errors build plus targeted extensions unit tests (all passing). Please re-run the PR pipeline on latest commit 19b6c12.

@copilot there is a test failure:

[Check failure on line 665 in src/TestFramework/TestFramework/Assertions/Assert.AreEqual.cs](https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/pull/7743/files#annotation_5188211...

Fixed in e9afe78: restored InternalsVisibleTo from Microsoft.Testing.Platform to Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CrashDump to preserve forward compatibility with previous CrashDump extension binaries and avoid the reported MethodAccessException path. I also validated targeted builds/tests locally; the specific forward-compatibility test could not be fully executed in this sandbox due transient package-feed download failures (Resource temporarily unavailable) when restoring 2.2.1 extensions.

@copilot let's avoid reflection and instead ujse the same technic as the core platform (with the msbuild template)

Done in 9dd19c3: I removed the reflection-based extension version lookup and switched to the same MSBuild template pattern as the core platform (BuildInfo.cs.template + GenerateBuildInfo=true) for the affected extensions. ExtensionVersion now reads from generated ExtensionBuildVersion.Version.
