Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Address PR feedback: enable package validation on GA
 declarative packages

Both Workflows.Declarative and Workflows.Declarative.Mcp set IsReleased=true

but were disabling package validation, bypassing the repo's GA convention

(see dotnet/nuget/nuget-package.props which auto-enables validation when

IsReleased=true).

Re-enable validation by removing the local EnablePackageValidation=false

overrides and pointing PackageValidationBaselineVersion at 1.8.0-rc1 (the

latest published version of each package). This catches accidental breaking

changes between RC and the first GA. Future GAs should bump the baseline to

the previous GA version.

Verified locally: dotnet build -c Release on both projects runs

RunPackageValidation -> APICompat ran successfully without finding any

breaking changes.
