Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Extensions that use us to download a runtime for them to run on currently get the 'base' dotnet runtime. Future tooling experiences may rely on the aspnetcore or windowsdesktop runtimes, however, and so we need to provide a way for those runtimes to be requested.
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. Include any alternative solutions you've considered.
I want extension authors to be able to request runtimes other that the dotnetcore runtime.
Describe the solution you'd like
The underlying dotnet-install scripts allow specifying runtimes via the --runtime parameter, so it should be a matter of adding additional optional parameters to our 'install a local runtime' API to allow for requesting these other runtimes.
Additional context
As part of this, we will probably need to track which runtime(s) are requested by which extension(s), not just assuming that the runtime acquired is the dotnetcore runtime.
