[7.0] Fix package dependency versions

[paulmedynski]

Description

Once again, our actual and advertised MDS and AKV package dependencies have diverged. This cleans them up to be current, accurate, and consistent. I re-arranged the Directory.Packages.props file to indicate where/why packages are used.

I also managed to find a dependency version notation for AKV's .nuspec that allows it to be compatible with all MDS 7.0.x versions, including preview releases.

The GenerateAKVProviderNugetPackage wasn't working, so I fixed that as well.

I made some official pipeline tweaks as well after deleting some unused/obsolete pipeline variables.

Testing

Tested restoring MDS and AKV packages in a test project using their pre-release versioning to prove that NuGet is happy.
