Running local tests fails on clean machine: framework Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.Debug missing

[EmJayGee]

Windows Terminal version

commit 0bc66ab

Windows build number

10.0.19044.1620

Other Software

n/a

Steps to reproduce

Clean install Windows; follow instructions for getting started as a contributor, build debug configuration from CMD and then do "runut" from the root of the project.

Reproduces in retail also once you fix the build breaks in the tests. ;-)

Expected Behavior

Unit tests run clean.

Actual Behavior

Huh. We should probably note that that's required for the tests. (idly) I wonder if TAEF ever did add support for pulling down framework packages when deploying test manifests.

Alternatively, we could use this to track "get the localtests to ship the VCLibs in package, like the main Terminal package".
