Description
Unblock #12528
IotHub and DeviceProvisioningServices are depending on Newtonsoft.Json 12.0.3, however our tools are using 11.0.2. This caused dll loading conflict during help generation in static analysis.
Solution is to use a custom ALC (assembly loading context) to load each module and their dependencies, so that they won't conflict with each other or common tools.
(No changelog required because it's only code change to tools)
