.NET: ci/dotnet vscode configuration

[Vincent Biret (baywet)]

this is an effort to enable the dotnet extension to work properly in vscode without having to open the dotnet subdirectory. It also adds the test projects to the snlf files. The vscode settings have no impact on people not using vscode, or people using vscode without the dotnet extensions, or people opening the subdirectory with vscode. Right now a bug in the extension is impacting our ability to use this fully. dotnet/vscode-csharp#9787

Result: Findings reported
Scope: full PR (2 commit(s)): a9cf0a73acd6, 6424ace32abe
Model: gpt-5.6-sol-fast

Overview

The PR adds root-workspace VS Code configuration around the release solution filter and expands that filter with all 32 unit-test projects. The filter is structurally valid, all 67 selected projects exist in the underlying solution, and the fixed process task avoids shell interpolation. However, selecting the release-only graph as the root IDE default leaves samples and integration tests outside the C# project system, so the promised root-folder workflow remains incomplete for contributors working in those projects.
