Description

"func extension install" command create `extensions.json` under `bin/bin` directory but not in `bin` directory.
Functions Host does not load extensions when it started with `func start` command. We need manually copy extensions.json from `bin/bin` to `bin` to load it. Is this expected behavior?

Research direction

Start with the provided extensions.csproj and reproduce `func extensions install`, checking where extensions.json is written relative to the bin directory. Then run `func start` and verify that the Functions Host loads the extensions without manually copying the file; the completed fix should make the generated metadata available in the expected bin location.
