Description

### Describe the bug

Related to #306

If I generate the solution and build it in VS, and then run WASM from the commandline:

```
dotnet run --project tooling\ProjectHeads\AllComponents\Wasm\CommunityToolkit.App.Wasm.csproj
```

Everything works as expected.

But if I run from VS, it doesn't work, the call to `WasmAppHost` fails as it's looking at the wrong path:

```
WasmAppHost --use-staticwebassets --runtime-config I:\code\Labs-Windows\tooling\ProjectHeads\AllComponents\Wasm\bin\Debug\net9.0\CommunityToolkit.App.Wasm.runtimeconfig.json
```
(Notice the `browser-wasm` subfolder is missing)

Correct command:
```
WasmAppHost --use-staticwebassets --runtime-config I:\code\Labs-Windows\tooling\ProjectHeads\AllComponents\Wasm\bin\Debug\net9.0\browser-wasm\CommunityToolkit.App.Wasm.runtimeconfig.json
```

### Steps to reproduce

```text
1. Clone repo
2. GenerateAllSolution.bat
3. Run WASM head in VS

Fails to run
```

### Expected behavior

Run WASM head
