Set sdk.txt file to enable preview SDKs

- VS uses the local appdata, VS versioned folder, sdk.txt file to determine whether or not to accept preview sdks

- VS Release rejects preview SDKs by default which causes the msbuild sdk resolver to not find sdks, as msbuild respects the vs settings

- This changes the vs settings to enable our internal SDKs to be found by msbuild when it's going under test.

- Possible improvements: this PR assumes sdk.txt content ordering does not matter - based on VS code this appears to be true but could change in the future

Also tried:
- modifying global.json to enable preview sdks, which was not enough. some tests have a  custom global.json and it seems to not take precedence

setting env vars such as msbuildsdks which did not take precedence over the vs setting

This commit is a condensed version of the work done in #51591 and #51598
