Automatic post-build symbol availability validation

[dagood]

Validate that the symbols made it to the official public symbol server endpoint after each build.

per @mikem8361 : build a tool using the Microsoft.SymbolStore support from the symstore repo/feed https://github.com/dotnet/symstore that index and verify PDB and DLLs are on any symbol server.

Tracked in #167

That's not the case--I described the relationship between these two issues in the description of the other issue:

[This issue is] about making sure the symbols are available from the production endpoints, [#167] is about making sure the right symbols are included in build outputs at all.

I'm reopening this--they're very distinct scenarios.

The release team is what needs this tooling to include as a release step to make sure both the symbol publish tooling works and the symbol server accepted the symbols. It's the build infra's responsibility to provide the correct symbols to the release infrastructure, which is why I see this dividing line as very important.

Closing this since now we have a short term solution (#2534) and another issue for a long term solution (dotnet/arcade-services#2465)
