Simplify ref/ assembly generation (#24136)

* Simplify ref/ assembly generation
    - followup 1/2 for 5266918ed2
    - correct the Razor.Tools project
      - `%(Reference.Version)` metadata does not bleed through into `@(PackageReference)` items
      - much more work to do so than to add this special case
      - remove `$(Razor_NewtonsoftJsonPackageVersion)`
    - remove RTMVersions project and use RepoTasks instead
      - make it an error if RepoTasks is not restored before anything else builds
- add items and properties for System.Security.AccessControl

nits:
- remove invalid (ignored) metadata in Directory.Build.props and AzureAppServices.SiteExtension project
- improve / extend a couple of comments
- move `@(Reference)` items together in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Tools

     Upshot is we need Major.Minor.0 runtime packages for compilation and the targeting pack and Major.Minor.Latest

+    `$(SystemSecurityPrincipalWindowsV0PackageVersion)` if you change `$(SystemSecurityAccessControlV0PackageVersion)`
+    because System.Security.AccessControl will otherwise be loadable. This should not be necessary in servicing.

     This target could get confused if the layout changes for one of the dozen special-cased packages during servicing.

     changes the path to one not present in the 5.0.0 package. Fortunately, this will break the build with complaints
