We're using Microsoft-hosted agents for release pipelines (ALOpsExtensionAPI@1).
Currently every run will install the BcContainerHelper and then download the BC-Artifacts.

Describe the solution you'd like
Migrate from importing the .dll files from the artifacts, to the new altool which come with the AL Language extension version 13.0.

I believe this will bring multiple benefits

• Improve stability (prevent breaking on breaking changes in artifacts)
• Prevent possible refactoring in the future when the artifacts are replaced with NuGet feeds
• Improve duration when Default Assemblies not found. Load via BC-Artifacts. is needed. This will take up to almost 4min. Downloading the AL Language extension and grabbing the altool could be faster I believe.
• No longer dependent on the BCContainerHelper
• Enable the ALOpsExtensionAPI to run with a vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest' Microsoft-hosted agent (there's a Windows and Linux binary available)

To support a gradual transition it would be helpful If we could switch between the current implementation and the new altool. Ideally a ALOpsExtensionAPI@2 step, but a flag/setting on the current ALOpsExtensionAPI@1 also could suffice. Not sure what is most feasible to create, and we should leave the implementation details to you of course :-)

#726 made us switch for CompilerV2 - but it will need to rework for the other tasks ..
