Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Make CLI bundle self-extraction conditional based on
 distribution mode

Add SelfExtractingBundle MSBuild property (default false, true for dotnet-tool)
that gets baked into the assembly as metadata. BundleService reads the flag
and skips self-extraction when disabled, relying on pre-extracted layouts
for archive/installer distributions.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] Fix: skip self-extraction only when layout already exists
 on disk

When IsSelfExtracting=false, EnsureExtractedAsync was unconditionally
short-circuiting, even if no layout existed on disk. This broke archive
distributions where the binary still has an embedded bundle but the
layout wasn't pre-extracted. Now it checks DiscoverLayout first and
falls back to extraction when the layout is missing.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Retrigger CI to verify E2E failures are transient

The previous CI run had E2E test failures with 'Arithmetic overflow while
reading bundle' in aspire-managed, which is unrelated to our code changes.
The aspire-managed binary is built independently and our extraction code
is unchanged from main. Other PRs pass E2E tests, suggesting this was a
transient artifact corruption.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Use DefineConstants instead of AssemblyMetadataAttribute
 for SelfExtractingBundle

Replace the AssemblyMetadataAttribute + reflection approach with a compile-time
DefineConstants approach. The AssemblyMetadataAttribute was causing 'Arithmetic
overflow while reading bundle' errors in native AOT builds, likely due to how
ILC handles assembly-level attributes alongside large embedded resources.

The new approach defines SELF_EXTRACTING_BUNDLE as a compile-time constant when
SelfExtractingBundle=true, avoiding any reflection or assembly metadata in the
native binary.
