[xabt] Route NativeAOT linking and native stripping through NDK - #12970

Windows NativeAOT builds succeed but the NDK sysroot assertion compares a backslash-only expected path against a valid mixed-separator linker response. Normalize both comparison operands without changing the required NDK toolchain roots, generated objects, or product linker behavior.

Select the modern .NET runtime on resolver and linker task invocations, without adding task-host attributes to shipped UsingTask declarations.

Replace SetIlcToolchainPath's process-wide PATH mutation with canonical NDK compiler, archive, and objcopy paths and an escaped per-ILC Exec environment. Preserve existing environment settings and keep the MSBuild process's PATH unchanged.

Add actual-MSBuild target, environment, and failure-cleanup regressions, with Windows Full-MSBuild counterparts when Visual Studio 2026 is available. Preserve NativeAOT generated objects and ARM EHABI handling.

Remove duplicated resolver smoke checks, mocked success and response-format assertions, XML-only runtime guards, and redundant ABI/configuration combinations.

Retain real three-ABI NativeAOT linking and ARM EHABI checks, native failure cleanup, missing tools, scoped ILC and Full-MSBuild execution, strip input preservation and incremental Clean behavior, and effective-runtime NDK requirements. Product code remains unchanged.

Remove the synthetic MSBuild runtime fixture and the task-level resolver and mocked linker suites. Drop their test-project metadata and unused linker mocking hooks.

Keep the real NativeAOT, strip packaging, and effective-runtime dependency regressions. Replace the runtime fixture with a compact Windows Full-MSBuild test that builds and packages actual CoreCLR and NativeAOT applications using the existing project tools.

Merge main through 7ef934d.

Retain the shared metadata helper and strict NDK stripping behavior while adopting main's removal of obsolete assembly-store cleanup. Preserve the real feature tests and previous test-scaffolding cleanup.

Keep only the new stripping and failed-strip behavioral regressions in NativeAotBuildTests. Reuse the existing three-ABI NativeAOT and ARM EHABI coverage.

Remove the custom Full-MSBuild launcher, duplicate missing-NDK case, and task-log, response-path, FileWrites, and timestamp implementation assertions. Preserve packaged ELF/export checks, original input immutability, incremental strip toggles, and Clean behavior.

Android links the NativeAOT object directly and already handles required stripping, debug extraction, and GNU debug links using the resolved NDK tools.

Disable ILC's unused stripping phase in all configurations. Its Windows setup probe passes an absolute llvm-objcopy path to where, which rejects the path as an invalid pattern and fails Release builds before native compilation.

Exercise the existing three-ABI build test with DebugSymbols=false. Keep NDK tool validation and Android's final stripping behavior unchanged.

Recognize wrap.sh by its effective archive filename as well as its physical input path. A differently named script linked as wrap.sh must not be passed to llvm-strip.

Extend the existing APK and AAB stripping feature cases to verify that linked wrapper scripts are packaged unchanged. Preserve strict failures for invalid native libraries and the existing incremental and input-immutability checks.

Merge main through 352d8ba.

Adopt the Java NativeAOT bootstrap and removal of generated LLVM bootstrap objects while preserving official NDK tool routing, the Windows stripping-probe fix, and linked wrapper scripts. Keep upstream crypto retention and incremental bootstrap coverage alongside the existing ARM EHABI checks.
