Tested with the following project, which contains a web api that references a class library that references a local Steeltoe NuGet package. Includes scripts to build fresh Steeltoe packages and copy them to the local directory, while clearing the global NuGet cache. Unzip into a sibling directory of Steeltoe. Build/run and use the .http file to download a gcdump.

Before trying, you may need to adjust the paths in the scripts and create the PackagesFromSteeltoe sibling directory upfront.

Pull Request Overview

This PR addresses issue #1612 by fixing how dotnet-gcdump is published in the Steeltoe.Management.Endpoint NuGet package and resolving transitive reference issues with Microsoft.Diagnostics.FastSerialization. The changes consolidate the packaging logic into the main project file and downgrade Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent to ensure binary compatibility.

Key Changes:

• Downgraded Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent from version 3.1.26 to 3.1.23 for binary compatibility
• Removed the separate Build/Steeltoe.Management.Endpoint.props file that consumers would import
• Added an MSBuild target to embed dotnet-gcdump.dll directly in the NuGet package for each target framework
