Add --dnx-* prefixed options with --dnx-debug and --dnx-force

[Copilot]

• Add --dnx-aot option (alias for --aot)
• Add --dnx-alias option (alias for --alias)
• Add --dnx-debug option to launch debugger before running
• Add --dnx-force option to skip ETag checking
• Update help text and documentation
• Fix build error with Option constructor syntax for multiple aliases

Original prompt

Switch --aot to --dnx-aot and parse it as an option alongside the --alias.
Make the --alias also --dnx-alias. As backs-compat, keep the older --aot and --alias.
Introduce a --dnx-debug to do a Debugger.Launch() all before running too.
Finally, add a --dnx-force to avoid checking the ETag altogether.

Fixed in ded6702. The issue was incorrect syntax for adding multiple aliases to a System.CommandLine.Option. The collection expression ["--alias", "--dnx-alias"] was being misinterpreted. Changed to use Aliases.Add("--dnx-alias") after constructing the option with the primary name.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
