Wrong crossgen2 binary in artifacts/tests

[am11]

Problem

The crossgen2 binary shipped in microsoft.netcore.app.crossgen2 nuget package is not the binary we are testing in CI.

Details

We publish crossgen2 as a NativeAOT app on AOT supported platforms and as a SingleFile app on $other platforms.

e.g. microsoft.netcore.app.crossgen2.osx-arm64 nuget package v8.0.0-alpha.1.22605.1 has AOT'd crossgen2 executable under tools/ directory.

With build clr+libs followed by src/tests/build, the non-published (non-AOT, non-SingleFile) variant is copied at artifacts/tests/coreclr/<rid>.<configuration>/Tests/Core_Root/crossgen2/crossgen2 which we use in test runs.

With build clr+libs+packs followed by src/tests/build, both non-published and published variants are copied in artifacts/tests/coreclr/<rid>.<configuration>/Tests/Core_Root/crossgen2 (non-published at ./crossgen2 and published at ./publish/<rid>/crossgen2) and we still use non-published variant during the test runs.

Proposed changes

• src/tests/build to always copy published variant of CG2 to artifacts (and publish it anyway if packs subset wasn't built):
  artifacts/bin/coreclr/<rid>.<configuration>/crossgen2/<rid>/publish/*.* ->
  artifacts/tests/coreclr/<rid>.<configuration>/Tests/Core_Root/crossgen2/ (no need to copy non-published variant)
• test runner and places like R2RTest tool which are spawning dotnet crossgen2.dll or corerun crossgen2.dll to spawn crossgen2 executable instead
