This target allows deploying an already-built app to a device without rebuilding, supporting the `dotnet run` workflow. The target reuses existing deployment logic but skips the full build, enabling faster iteration when only deployment is needed e.g. `--no-build`. Also consolidates `$(SignAndroidPackageDependsOn)`, `$(InstallDependsOnTargets)`, and `$(UninstallDependsOnTargets)` properties into `BuildOrder.targets` to keep all target dependency ordering in one place. Adds test coverage to verify the target deploys successfully and the app can be launched via adb commands.

Context: dotnet/android#10631 Add support for calling the `DeployToDevice` MSBuild target during `dotnet run`. The target is invoked after the build step (or with --no-build) to enable deployment to physical devices or emulators. - Create `RunCommandSelector` once per run for framework/device selection and deployment - Call `DeployToDevice` target if it exists in the project - Reuse cached `ProjectInstance` for performance - Add localized message for deployment failures - Added tests
