fixes #24335

Description

The VSMac updater calls the prior band SDK and asks it which workloads to install with the current feature band. The feature was originally designed to work with only the current band and not cross-band and this change fixes it to work that way.

Customer Impact

Without this change, VSMac customers who upgrade will not be told on their initial upgrade that there are workloads that require updates. They will be forced to either drop to the command line and manually update workloads or wait for a future update that may or may not work depending on if it's a patch update or not.

Regression?

  • Yes
  • No

Risk

  • High
  • Medium
  • Low

The change itself is a bit bigger but it's affect is almost entirely in the --print-downlaod-linke-only feature of the workloads CLI. This command is only used by VSMac and it's completely broken today.

Verification

  • Manual (required)
  • Automated
    We have not tested with VSMac yet as we need either an official build with newer workloads or to backport this to 6.0.3xx.

We should update UpdateAdvertisingManifestAsync so that it calls GetManifestPackageDownloadsAsync instead of having the logic duplicated.
