Implements the first part of the spec mentioned in: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/522c88a6abfc4a011556f839d15844d07ba62cd9/documentation/specs/dotnet-run-for-maui.md?plain=1#L35-L46 Add interactive target framework selection to `dotnet run` When running a multi-targeted project without specifying `--framework`, `dotnet run` now: * Prompts interactively (using `Spectre.Console`) to select a framework with arrow keys * Shows a formatted error list in non-interactive mode with available frameworks * Handles selection early before project build/evaluation * Removes redundant multi-TFM error checking from `ThrowUnableToRunError()` * Adds a few unit tests to validate these changes. This is currently WIP, as it introduces a "pre-built" `Spectre.Console` that I will need to setup in source-build in a PRs elsewhere.

So it doesn't require `mono`

There are other tests that do this
This test fails after I made it check TF at runtime. This was not even the existing behavior, I think we can remove this test.

Context: dotnet/sdk#51430 Context: dotnet/source-build-reference-packages#1447 We would like to use Spectre.Console for the `dotnet` CLI, and .NET has to be able to be completely built from source. It would help us to have `PolySharp` only included when building for `netstandard2.0`, as that is the only target framework that needs the polyfills. .NET would probably only use the latest target framework. Thanks!
