Research direction

Start in build.cmd and inspect the -f option, including its dummy-project restore, then locate the src\packages directory it creates or uses. The change is complete when the flag and obsolete directory are removed without affecting the remaining build workflow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The jitutils build.cmd has a -f option that does a restore on dummy project to create a directory with a set of libraries assemblies that can be used for asm diffs.

This shouldn't be necessary anymore, as you can just use a dotnet/runtime Core_Root directory for the same purpose.

Proposal: remove the -f build flag, and the src\packages directory.

@dotnet/jit-contrib Feedback? Is there a use for this that justifies keeping it?
