Show AppHost SDK version in aspire ps

[adamint]

Description

Fixes #16292

aspire ps now surfaces the AppHost SDK version from the v2 auxiliary backchannel in table output and JSON output as sdkVersion, with unknown values rendered as blank/null.

Validation:

• dotnet test tests/Aspire.Cli.Tests/Aspire.Cli.Tests.csproj --no-restore --verbosity quiet -- --filter-class "*.PsCommandTests" --filter-not-trait "quarantined=true" --filter-not-trait "outerloop=true"

Pull request overview

Updates aspire ps to surface the running AppHost’s Aspire SDK version by querying the auxiliary backchannel v2 “AppHost info” endpoint, and displays it in both table and JSON output (sdkVersion, blank/null when unknown).

Changes:

• Extend the CLI backchannel abstraction with GetAppHostInfoV2Async and use it in PsCommand to populate sdkVersion.
• Add an SDK column to the table output and include sdkVersion in JSON output (null when unknown/“unknown”).
• Add unit tests and localizable resources for the new column header.

Use the assembly informational version, change the impl.

Will it have values like 13.3.0-pr.16502.g809f606f? That's pretty long. It's ok if you're using dev bits, but what would 13.2 stable output? Just 13.2.1?

Packages like the daily preview have the preview part omitted. 13.2 stable outputs 13.2.4.0

We only use the first 3 numbers. Can you trim off the trailing .0 (forth number)

The dashboard displays this for its stable version (in settings sidebar):

Can you look into what the dashboard does to get its version number?

[adamint]

Addressed the version-display feedback in adamint/aspire@0c5f64333. aspire ps now normalizes AppHost SDK versions similarly to the dashboard display path by stripping build metadata and trimming a trailing fourth .0 component, with JSON/table coverage for stable and prerelease informational versions.
