Update Cake.Tool to 5.1.0

[Copilot]

Incremental update of cake.tool from 4.0.0 to 5.1.0 as a stepping stone toward eventually targeting 6.2.

Changes

• .config/dotnet-tools.json: Bump cake.tool from 4.0.0 → 5.1.0
• .config-macos/dotnet-tools.json: Bump cake.tool from 4.0.0 → 5.1.0

Notes

No changes required to build.cake. The existing Cake.MinVer 4.0.0 addin is functional with Cake 5.1.0 — there is no Cake.MinVer 5.x release yet. Cake 5 will emit a compatibility warning at runtime (Cake.MinVer references Cake.Core 4.0.0), but all tasks execute correctly.

Cake 5.0 breaking changes (release notes) are limited to dropping .NET 6/7 TFM support, removing obsolete members, and bumping LatestPotentialBreakingChange to 5.0.0 — none of which affect this build script.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Update cake to latest 5.x version</issue_title>
<issue_description>The NUnit build currently targets cake.tool version 4 and uses the addin cake.minver. There latest version of Cake.Tool is 6.1, with some helpful changes coming up in 6.2. We should do an incremental update now to the latest 5.x version (5.1.0 as of now) as an incremental jump and to prepare for targeting 6.2 upon its release.

The list of breaking changes to go from 4 to 5 are small and are documented on https://cakebuild.net/blog/2024/11/cake-v5.0.0-released</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>The latest version of Cake.Tool is 6.1. We do not want to just right to that. We should instead target 5.1 as an incremental update here. Work should be branched from branch "release/4.6" and a PR should be put up to merge back into that branch</agent_instructions>

LGTM now. Thanks copilot

Oops. copilot branched from and tried to PR to the wrong branch. Changed root from main to release/4.6` and re-running CI

[stevenaw]

I am going to merge this. The changes were branched by Copilot from main and do bring one additional ticket's worth of changes into the 4.6 branch, however Copilot's changes passed in isolation in CI when targeting the main branch as well as when pointing to the release/4.6 branch, which should ensure reliability
