This PR removes Microsoft.VisualStudio.CUIT from the vstest NuGet packages and eliminates CUIT-related test projects from the repository as part of the CUIT deprecation effort.

Changes Made

Removed CUIT Test Project

  • Deleted test/TestAssets/CUITTestProject/ directory and all its contents
  • Removed CUITTestProject from TestAssets.sln solution file
  • Deleted CUITTest.cs integration test class

Updated NuGet Packages

  • Removed all CUIT-related file entries from Microsoft.TestPlatform.nuspec (30+ DLL and configuration files)
  • Removed Microsoft.VisualStudio.CUIT package reference from Microsoft.TestPlatform.csproj
  • Removed CUIT file copying tasks and item groups
  • Updated package description to remove CUIT-related documentation

Updated CLI Package

  • Removed CUIT folder property and file references from Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestPlatform.V2.CLI.csproj
  • Removed entire CUIT ItemGroup section with 11 VsixSourceItem entries

Cleaned Up Existing Projects

  • Removed conditional CUIT references from BingWebTest.csproj
  • Removed IsCodedUITest property and Choose/When blocks for CUIT dependencies

Impact

  • 8 files changed: 190 lines removed, 11 lines added
  • No breaking changes to core functionality - only removes deprecated CUIT support
  • NuGet package size reduction by removing unused CUIT binaries
  • Simplified codebase with removal of conditional CUIT logic

Verification

  • Confirmed no remaining CUIT references in source code
  • Verified solution structure integrity after project removal
  • Ensured no build scripts or other dependencies reference removed components

Fixes #15176.
