Backport of #68211 to release/9.0.
Description
Removes the deprecated
Microsoft.Extensions.ApiDescription.Clientpackage from the repo.src/Tools/Extensions.ApiDescription.Client(sources, tests, build props/targets, nuspec, README).eng/ProjectReferences.props,eng/ShippingAssemblies.props, andsrc/Tools/Tools.slnf.AspNetCore.sln(main has migrated toAspNetCore.slnx), so the project, solution-folder, configuration, and nesting entries were removed there instead.Remaining
Microsoft.Extensions.ApiDescription.Clientoccurrences inMicrosoft.dotnet-openapiare JSON string literals in test fixtures, unchanged here as in main.Customer Impact
The package was deprecated in .NET 10 and is no longer built or shipped from this branch. Consumers should move off it; existing published versions remain on NuGet.
Regression?
Risk
Deletion-only change plus build-config bookkeeping; no product code paths are altered.
Verification
dotnet sln AspNetCore.sln listparses (554 projects) and no dangling project references remain.Packaging changes reviewed?
Package is removed from the shipping assembly list and no longer produced.
