[backport] AOT Annotations and CI smoke tests for AOT publishes

[Mpdreamz]

Adds AOT annotations for all published projects and ensures they are advertised as AOT compatible.

Create a smoke test binary that writes to an in memory elasticsearch endpoint for our NLog and Extensions loggers.

Serilog is currently failing with:

ecs-aot-smoketest failed with 2 error(s) (58.2s) → examples/ecs-aot-smoketest/bin/release/net9.0/osx-arm64/ecs-aot-smoketest.dll
    ILC : Trim analysis error IL2067: Serilog.Capturing.PropertyValueConverter.TryConvertStructure(Object,Type,Destructuring,StructureValue&): 'type' argument does not satisfy 'DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.PublicProperties' in call to 'Serilog.Capturing.PropertyValueConverter.CreateStructureValue(Object,Type,Boolean)'. The parameter 'type' of method 'Serilog.Capturing.PropertyValueConverter.TryConvertStructure(Object,Type,Destructuring,StructureValue&)' does not have matching annotations. The source value must declare at least the same requirements as those declared on the target location it is assigned to.

Will create an issue with Serilog to see if it can be resolved.

This removes https://github.com/benaadams/Ben.Demystifier as its not AOT compatible. AOT compatibility beats nicer stacktrace strings as a feature to keep supporting IMO.

This bumps NLog to 6.0.0 to take benefit of its work to be AOT compatible (cc @snakefoot)

Also be aware wuth this backport we bump NLog to 6.0.0 for our 8.x releases.

We typically do not require major version bumps in our deps to force a bump in our major version. cc @snakefoot

I was thinking to update the AOT-verification-app to use NLog v6. But keep using NLog v5 for the library ? This will provide the highest level of compatibility (Since not everyone develops AOT-applications)
