Backport of #132857 to release/11.0-rc1

/cc @jtschuster @copilot

Customer Impact

  • Customer reported
  • Found internally

Crossgen2 does not accept uppercase letters as the file extension for .dll and .exe files. On filesystems that always report uppercase file names, this makes it impossible to use the affected versions of crossgen2.

Regression

  • Yes
  • No

Likely #122947

Testing

Testing was validated with a local build of crossgen2.

Risk

Low. The change is small and targeted, and no existing tests have failed.

IMPORTANT: If this backport is for a servicing release, please verify that:

  • For .NET 8 and .NET 9: The PR target branch is release/X.0-staging, not release/X.0.
  • For .NET 10+: The PR target branch is release/X.0 (no -staging suffix).

Package authoring no longer needed in .NET 9

IMPORTANT: Starting with .NET 9, you no longer need to edit a NuGet package's csproj to enable building and bump the version.
Keep in mind that we still need package authoring in .NET 8 and older versions.

…ns (#132857)

`crossgen2` rejected input assemblies whose on-disk extension is
uppercase (`.DLL`/`.EXE`), which occurs on filesystems/network shares
that normalize casing (e.g. WinFsp/virtiofs). This is a regression from
`Microsoft.NETCore.App.Crossgen2` 10.0.5 → 10.0.9, breaking
`PublishReadyToRun` builds on affected volumes.

## Root Cause

`RunSingleCompilation` in `src/coreclr/tools/aot/crossgen2/Program.cs`
matched `Path.GetExtension(inFilePath)` against `.dll`/`.exe` using a
case-sensitive switch expression, throwing `CommandLineException` for
any other casing.

## Fix

- Replaced the switch expression with cascading `if`/`else if`
statements comparing the extension via
`StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase`, so `.dll`, `.DLL`, `.Dll`, `.exe`,
`.EXE`, etc. are all accepted.

- Fixes #132554
