Pull request overview
Backport PR to standardize SDK selection across Azure DevOps pipelines by relying on global.json, introducing a shared install-dotnet pipeline template (including ARM64 handling), and updating related build/test pipeline templates and documentation accordingly.
Changes:
- Update
global.jsonSDK pinning and refactor pipeline jobs/templates to install SDK viauseGlobalJson. - Add shared
install-dotnet.ymltemplate plus an ARM64 PowerShell installer workaround. - Refresh pipeline test matrices (TFMs / ARM64 flag propagation) and update repo docs/config formatting.
