## Summary of the Pull Request
### 1. Make AdaptiveCards WinUI3 AOT Compatible
The AdaptiveCards.WinUI3 NuGet packages ship with precompiled WinRT
projections (RendererCsProjection.dll, etc.), which are not
trim/AOT-safe. These projections internally use APIs like
ComWrappersSupport.GetObjectReferenceForInterface, which break under
PublishAot.
To resolve this:
- We exclude their compile assets to avoid using the shipped C#
projections.
- Use the .winmd metadata files with CsWinRT to regenerate our own
AOT-compatible projections.
- Manually copy the required native .dlls from the NuGet package.

### 2. Ensure AOT-Compatible Transitive Dependency
The AdaptiveCards.Templating package depends on
Microsoft.Bot.AdaptiveExpressions.Core, but doesn’t pin an AOT-safe
version. We explicitly version Microsoft.Bot.AdaptiveExpressions.Core to
4.23.0 to ensure compatibility with NativeAOT.
