## Summary of the Pull Request
Release pipeline is keeping failed, and local build failed at ut.
This pull request introduces changes to improve how test projects are
handled during release builds, ensuring that test code is not compiled
or analyzed when not needed - in doing release build, to - succeed the
execution and reduce built time.
And, to upgrade from VS17 to VS18 in cmdpal sdk build, this is to keep
consistency with all other build step

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request includes two main groups of changes: improvements to
build configuration (specifically, warning suppression for experimental
features), and refactoring in the `WrapPanelCustom` control to use the
correct `StretchChild` type from the CommunityToolkit. These updates
help streamline the build process and improve code clarity and
maintainability.
**Build configuration improvements:**
* Added `/p:IgnoreExperimentalWarnings=true` to the
`RestoreAdditionalProjectSourcesArg` in the build pipeline to enable
suppression of experimental warnings during project restore.
* Updated `Directory.Build.targets` to append specific warning codes
(`CS8305`, `SA1500`, `CA1852`) to the `NoWarn` property when
`IgnoreExperimentalWarnings` is set, suppressing these warnings during
builds.
**Refactoring in `WrapPanelCustom`:**
* Updated the `WrapPanel` control in `WrapPanel.cs` to use
`ToolkitStretchChild` from `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls` instead of
a local `StretchChild` type, ensuring consistency and leveraging the
toolkit's implementation.

the core change is adding this new Target to ensure when "building in
Visual Studio", it will restore the nuget package first for vcxproj:
```xml

'$(BuildingInsideVisualStudio)' == 'true'
and '$(DesignTimeBuild)' != 'true'
and '$(RestoreInProgress)' != 'true'
and '$(MSBuildProjectExtension)' == '.vcxproj'
and '$(RestoreProjectStyle)' == 'PackageReference'
and '$(MSBuildProjectExtensionsPath)' != ''
and !Exists('$(MSBuildProjectExtensionsPath)project.assets.json')
