Subject: [PATCH] Pack NuGet output to a flat packages folder

dotnet pack previously wrote each project's .nupkg/.snupkg to its own
src/<project>/bin/Release/, so the packages-* artifact preserved that
nested layout. actions/upload-artifact roots its archive at the
common ancestor of matched paths, so the downloaded artifact was not
a usable flat local NuGet feed, and release.yaml's existing
artifacts/*.nupkg push step would have found nothing. Pack with
--output packages so all projects write directly into one flat
folder, matching the pattern used by DocDown's build pipeline.
