[release/13.5] fix(release): Restore WinGet publication with .NET 9 wingetcreate - #19509

WinGet publication fails before submit because the latest standalone wingetcreate targets .NET 9 and is framework-dependent, while the release agent image has no compatible runtime: wingetcreate.exe : You must install or update .NET to run this application. Install the .NET 9 runtime in the gated submission path before launching wingetcreate. Exercise the latest executable with `info` in normal WinGet preparation builds so future runtime incompatibilities fail before release. Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The WinGet setup steps were gated by live production submission, so dry runs skipped both the .NET 9 runtime installation and the wingetcreate startup check. That prevented a safe branch run from proving that the latest wingetcreate executable could launch. Run UseDotNet and wingetcreate info whenever the WinGet job is selected, while retaining the live-only gate on URL validation and submission. This validates runtime compatibility without opening an upstream PR. Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Description
Aspire 13.5 WinGet publication failed before opening the upstream PR:
The latest framework-dependent
wingetcreatetargets .NET 9, but the release agent did not have a compatible runtime. This installs the .NET 9 runtime before launchingwingetcreateand runswingetcreate infoin regular preparation and selected release jobs so future runtime incompatibilities fail before a live submission.The actual
wingetcreate submitstep remains restricted to non-dry-run production-branch runs.Validation:
ReleasePublishNugetPipelineTests: 32 passed, 0 failed.wingetcreate v1.12.13.0 info; submission remained skipped.Fixes # (issue)
