ImageBuilder cannot generate MCR Tags Metadata for two images built with the same Dockerfile but different tags

[lbussell]

While implementing https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/issues/5021, I tried to re-use the existing jammy-chiseled runtime and aspnet Dockerfiles but add an argument for specifying the variant of the base image, since there should be no difference to the Dockerfile content. Generating readmes fails for this scenario, I believe because of this code:

https://github.com/dotnet/docker-tools/blob/74f9169582bae470c771f7298820b40db7b9e8f7/src/Microsoft.DotNet.ImageBuilder/src/McrTagsMetadataGenerator.cs#L139-L150

Which would see that the platforms are matching and remove the matching doc info. This means when we add the McrTagsMetadata for the new tags, the new tags are ignored and thus readme generation fails.

I validated that changing the source Dockerfile fixes this.

Actual behavior
