This fixes an issue where on linux (maybe elsewhere also) autocompletion/preview asks you to build the project, but clicking build the project, or building the project doesn't help.
This code was using dotnet.acquire to get the runtime version of dotnet to use. This is resolving an old version of dotnet runtime (8.0.10).
I suspect this wasn't working because it needs the sdk to do the build not just the runtime. However using the alternative dotnet.acquireGlobalSDK would fail on Ubuntu 22.04 with a message that said dotnet sdk 8.0.403 isn't officially supported on ubuntu 22.04 (this is despite this being the exact version I already have installed)
People have pointed out that you can work around this by specifying the global dotnet to use in your vscode settings.json as follows:
It does mean that people need to install dotnet themselves, as the extension will no longer install one for itself to use. However if you developing an avalonia app you have to already have dotnet installed so I think this is OK.
This may resolve #123, #117, #88
To get things fully working again I also had to update the versions of Microsoft.Build and Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core in the upstream SolutionParser, I've also raised a pull request against it to fix that here: https://github.com/prashantvc/SolutionParser/pull/4

This merge request formalises this by making the extension find and use the global installed dotnet using the new
