Fixes: #7302
Context: dotnet/linker#2203
Context: dotnet/runtime#67660
Context: #6598

This partially backports 745214d.

Building a net6.0-android app in Release mode with .NET 7 can fail with many errors like:

error XA4215: The Java type `androidx.activity.contextaware.OnContextAvailableListener` is generated by more than one managed type. Please change the [Register] attribute so that the same Java type is not emitted.

This happens because we end up with multiple assemblies, such as:

obj/Release/net6.0-android/android-arm/linked/Xamarin.AndroidX.Activity.dll
obj/Release/net6.0-android/android-arm64/linked/Xamarin.AndroidX.Activity.dll
obj/Release/net6.0-android/android-x64/linked/Xamarin.AndroidX.Activity.dll
obj/Release/net6.0-android/android-x86/linked/Xamarin.AndroidX.Activity.dll

To fix this, in addition to this backport to dotnet/runtime/release/6.0:

dotnet/runtime#75311

In .NET 7 we opt into $(TrimmerRemoveSymbols) by default for Release builds. This allows the .NET 7 linker to have stable MVIDs for assemblies for each architecture. Somehow when the linker outputs .pdb files, it creates different MVIDs per architecture.

There may potentially be a dotnet/linker issue here to look into further. However, this seems to be the best fix for getting .NET 6 projects building under .NET 7 at the moment.

We also have another change in .NET 7 that opts into
`$(TrimmerRemoveSymbols)` by default for `Release` builds. This allows
the .NET 7 linker to have stable MVIDs for assemblies for each
architecture.
