Downgrade Microsoft.Extensions libraries from 9.0.8 to 8.0.0

[Copilot]

Users of the diagnostics libraries cannot consume 9.0 versions of Microsoft.Extensions packages. Downgrade to 8.0.0, the latest stable 8.x release.

Changes

Updated package versions in eng/Versions.props:

• Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces: 9.0.8 → 8.0.0
• Microsoft.Extensions.Logging: 9.0.8 → 8.0.0
• Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions: 9.0.8 → 8.0.0
• Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console: 9.0.8 → 8.0.0

• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json: 9.0.8 → 8.0.0
• Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Configuration: 9.0.8 → 8.0.0

This affects projects consuming these packages:

• Microsoft.Diagnostics.NETCore.Client
• Microsoft.Diagnostics.Monitoring.EventPipe
• dotnet-dsrouter

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

#5545 updated some of the Microsoft.Extension libraries to 9.0 versions. Can you try changing them to the latest 8.0 version of the respective libraries? There are users of our libraries that can't use these.
