Local dev build perf improvements #53649

Description

I had copilot run some builds locally and analyze the binlogs.

Here were its suggestions. Recording just so this isn't lost. I think we could do more to limit what a local build does whether it's through filtering, limiting the build, not building the archives, etc.

#53607 came out of this.

Fix Estimated Impact Effort
Build with /p:TargetFramework=net11.0 for single-TFM inner loop Eliminates DispatchToInnerBuilds (9.6 min cumulative saved) None — just a flag
Use filtered solutions (cli.slnf, etc.) for focused work Build only 9 projects instead of 184 None — already available
Skip code coverage (MsCoverageReferencedPathMaps) locally ~5 min cumulative saved 1 property
After initial build, use /p:BuildProjectReferences=false Eliminates 42 min cumulative RPR walk Flag + docs
Investigate MSBuild graph build (/graph) Fundamentally faster project traversal POC needed
Add Inputs/Outputs to redist layout targets 3.8 min → seconds for redist on no-op ~1 day
