The original motivation for this was handling import stubs:
```
Function pointer equality comparison was not handling cross-module pointers correctly when optimizations were enabled
(causes target pointers to be wrapped in jump stubs sometimes). The delegate equality comparison was hitting this bug.
```
We do not have import stubs anymore and unwrapping unboxing stubs serves no purpose here.

Microbenchmarks of delegate equality show ~3x improvement with this change:
```
Bench_DelegateEquality_Positive_OpenStatic<10000000>() took: 355 ms
Bench_DelegateEquality_Positive_ClosedStatic<10000000>() took: 367 ms
Bench_DelegateEquality_Positive_ClosedInstance<10000000>() took: 371 ms

Bench_DelegateEquality_Positive_OpenStatic<10000000>() took: 121 ms
Bench_DelegateEquality_Positive_ClosedStatic<10000000>() took: 120 ms
Bench_DelegateEquality_Positive_ClosedInstance<10000000>() took: 122 ms
```

Additionally, there is some desire to upstream changes for a portable RhGetCodeTarget implementation. Not having to
deal with it at this relatively low-level layer will make things more robust.

When you have built a CoreCLR CoreLib, it "poisons" the build
s.t. running libraries tests with NAOT becomes impossible.

This is because $(IlcFrameworkPath) draws from a shared framework
that contains the CoreCLR CoreLib, while it should use the CoreLib
from the AOT SDK.

This targeted change changes the order in which these two assemblies
get passed to ILC and allows one to use "/p:TestNativeAot=true"
without additional workarounds.

- Move the handling for variance so that it is in the same place as it is for instance methods
- Validate the behavior of such dispatch is equivalent to the dispatch behavior involving instance variant default dispatch
- Rework the fix for #80350 to avoid violating an invariant of the type system (which is that all MethodDef's of a TypeDef are loaded as MethodDescs when loading the open type).

Fixes #78621 

* Ensure that the CpuId tests set preferredVectorByteLength to a non-zero value

* Ensure getPreferredVectorByteLength takes NAOT into account

* Don't condition the preferred vector byte length based on stress mode

* Respect IsDynamicCodeSupported in more places in Linq.Expressions

* CanEmitObjectArrayDelegate
* CanCreateArbitraryDelegates

These properties are all set to `false` when running on NativeAOT, so have them respect RuntimeFeature.IsDynamicCodeSupported.

However, CanEmitObjectArrayDelegate needs a work around because DynamicDelegateAugments.CreateObjectArrayDelegate does not exist in CoreClr's System.Private.CoreLib.

Allow System.Linq.Expressions to create an object[] delegate using Ref.Emit even though RuntimeFeature.IsDynamicCodeSupported is set to false (ex. using a feature switch). To enable this, add an internal method in CoreLib that temporarily allows the current thread to skip the RuntimeFeature check and allows DynamicMethod instances to be created. When System.Linq.Expressions needs to generate one of these delegates, it calls the internal method through Reflection and continues to use Ref.Emit to generate the delegate.

Fix #81803

Fixes #79634.

To generate Win32 resources, we'd first use an MSBuild task to dump Win32 resources from the input IL module into a `.res` file. We'd then pass the `.res` file to link.exe. Link.exe would then invoke cvtres.exe to convert the `.res` file to `.obj`. Link.exe then links the `.obj` into the final executable.

Skip all of this and instead generate the correct object data in the compiler directly. I'm reusing Win32 resource emission logic from crossgen2. It already mostly does the right thing - we just needed to split the `.rsrc` section into `.rsrc$01` and `.rsrc$02` that link.exe expects. The first part has the data directory. The second part has the actual resource data.

Contributes to #73931. The cvtres step was actually non-deterministic because it creates an object file in TEMP and embeds this temporary name into the object.

The Helix workitem timeout still looked for the old `Outerloop` property but we're using `TestScope` instead now.

ILLinker allows specifying substitutions on the command line, same as descriptors. This can be useful for various workarounds. Add support for this for ILC as well.

- Logging got overhauled to use CompositeFormat in .NET 8, this allows for non boxing string formatting via string.Format. There's one piece of code that boxing the generic argument before handing off to string.Format so remove it for primitive types and enums.

When a valuetype is passed by ref on the stack

While working on netcore debugger for mono,the crash was happening.
This crash was due to an invalid pointer to the free(). Valgrind
was showing the traces of mismatch between the new() and delete().
After debugging the issue, even though hidden flag was set on
shared library the objdump on the shared library showed that
the overloaded new() operator was taken from a local scoped library
but overloaded delete() operator was overidden by defaults setting
of underlying system libraries in which delete() was hosted.
Changed the fvisibility flag to ensure that clang picks up the
local new() and delete() overloaded operators.

* [NCDB]Fix crash caused due to unavailability of symbols.

While working on netcore debugger for mono below symbols were missing from the binary.
 - mdHasSemantic
 - m_zeros
 - CBlobPoolHash
 - StgBlobPool
 - RecordPool
 - SplitPath
 - PEDecoder::CheckCorHeader
 - GetOsPageSize
 - PAL_Random
These symbols were part of mdruntime-dbi and mdruntimerw-dbi library.
These library was properly linked to mscodbi. Though these were linked
properly compiler was unableto find these symbols. Further investigations
revealed that the order of linking these libraries plays an important role.
After modifying the order of linkage the crash is resolved.

* Incorporating review comments

Removed the commented code
