The Avalonia port had placed the UI app in an ILSpy.* namespace tree,
while the csproj RootNamespace and every prior release (through 10.1)
use ICSharpCode.ILSpy.*. Restoring the historical namespace reduces the
public API diff against release/10.1 for plugin authors and removes the
shadowing that forced global:: qualifiers in the test project. The
Images class and AccessOverlayIcon enum move back into the root
namespace (as in 10.1), since an ICSharpCode.ILSpy.Images namespace
would shadow the Images class for all code inside ICSharpCode.ILSpy.

Opening a package from a feed previously meant downloading the .nupkg by
hand and using File > Open (#2313). The new File menu command searches any
public V3 feed (editable package-source list, persisted as an MRU in the
ILSpy settings), offers the latest 100 versions in a dropdown, and downloads
into the NuGet global packages folder so the cache is shared with every
other NuGet consumer on the machine and nothing is fetched twice. The cached
.nupkg is then opened exactly like the regular Open command. Feed access
sits behind INuGetFeedClient so the headless test suite covers search,
paging, version selection, download, cancellation, and error surfacing
without touching the network.

The Microsoft.DiaSymReader / .PortablePdb packages pull NETStandard.Library
1.6.1, which drags in 4.3.0 builds of System.Net.Http, System.Private.Uri
and System.Text.RegularExpressions, all carrying known advisories (NU1902/
NU1903). They are framework-provided at runtime on net10.0; pin the patched
4.3.4 / 4.3.2 / 4.3.1 via central transitive pinning so NuGet audit passes.
Enabling transitive pinning also aligns a handful of other transitive
packages to their declared central versions.

The Pdb2Xml command (ILSpy) and the PDB round-trip tests (Decompiler.Tests)
reference Microsoft.DiaSymReader*, previously gated on the build host being
Windows. That made dotnet restore resolve a different graph on Windows than
on Linux -- the packages (and their transitive tail: DiaSymReader.PortablePdb,
the legacy NETCore.Platforms/Win32 packages) appear only on Windows, and
DiaSymReader.Native flips between Direct and CentralTransitive. So a checkout
could not be developed across OSes without the committed packages.lock.json
churning on every Windows restore.
Drop the OS gate (keep Debug-only) so the restored graph, and the committed
lock, are identical on every OS. The consuming code is still gated by DEBUG
and WINDOWS, so on non-Windows the packages are restored but never compiled
in; the native asset only resolves for win-* RIDs.
The "Verify package contents" step (which checks the committed *.filelist
snapshots still match the built VSIX/MSI contents) had been excluding
packages.lock.json from its git diff to tolerate that per-OS churn. With the
locks now identical across OSes the carve-out is unnecessary, so it goes back
to a plain git diff --exit-code.

Replace the Windows-only .bat helpers (clean / debugbuild / releasebuild /
restore / updatedeps and BuildTools/format) with cross-platform pwsh
scripts at the repo root: restore.ps1, build.ps1 (-Configuration), clean.ps1,
updatedeps.ps1 and BuildTools/format.ps1, alongside the existing publish.ps1.
Enable a packages.lock.json for every project by hoisting
RestorePackagesWithLockFile into the root Directory.Build.props (the four
core libraries set it individually before) and commit the generated locks,
so restores are repeatable and CI can cache packages off them.
Cache the NuGet packages folder in the three setup-dotnet workflows
(build-ilspy, build-frontends, codeql-analysis), keyed on the lock files
per the setup-dotnet caching guidance.
Scope the Debug "Verify package contents" check to the *.filelist outputs
it actually generates. A project's packages.lock.json is keyed only by
(framework, RID), with no host-OS axis, so a lock produced on Linux
legitimately differs from one produced on Windows whenever an OS-conditional
PackageReference applies (Debug+Windows pulls Microsoft.DiaSymReader*). The
Windows restore then rewrites those locks; that churn must not fail a step
whose job is to police the VSIX/MSI file lists.
Also drop the dead ILSpy.BamlDecompiler publish line from
publishlocaldev.ps1, mirroring the earlier publish.ps1 fix.

publish.ps1 is a WPF-era script that was never updated for the current
tree, and the "Publish x64/arm64" CI step aborted on two stale things:
- It published ./ILSpy.BamlDecompiler/ILSpy.BamlDecompiler.csproj, which
does not exist here (the BAML library is ICSharpCode.BamlDecompiler and
already ships transitively via the ILSpy dependency graph) -> MSB1009.
- It publishes the ReadyToRun plugin RID-specifically without restoring
again, but the plugin declared no RuntimeIdentifiers, so the RID-less
solution restore produced no win-x64/win-arm64 assets -> NETSDK1047.
Drop the dead BamlDecompiler lines and give the plugin RuntimeIdentifiers
mirroring ILSpy.csproj, so it restores and publishes for every platform
the host supports (the plugin is pure managed and RID-agnostic).

R2R was the only legacy plugin still keeping the solution-level build red
(27 errors against the Avalonia tree). Port mirrors the four-corner
substitution used for the rest of the rewrite:

* ExtensionDeclaration.SymbolKind (CA1065) — was throwing
NotImplementedException; return SymbolKind.TypeDefinition to match
TypeDeclaration / DelegateDeclaration, since `extension` declarations
are type-level.
* CustomAttribute.DecodeValue (CA2002) — replace `lock(this)` on the
sealed-but-internal class with a private syncRoot field.
* PlainTextOutput (CA1001) — implement IDisposable; track an
ownsWriter flag so we only dispose the underlying TextWriter when
the parameterless constructor created its own StringWriter.
* DotNetCorePathFinder (CA1060) — move the libc realpath / free
PInvokes into a private nested NativeMethods class.
* ILSpy.ReadyToRun (CA1016) — add [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
in Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs to match the BamlDecompiler plugin.
