Description

### Describe the bug

When referencing the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm package from a Visual Studio 2022 extension, the extension fails to load due to missing files.

Here's the log from VS activity log:
`System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'CommunityToolkit.Mvvm, Version=8.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4aff67a105548ee2' or one of its dependencies`

When trying to debug this, it seems that System.Buffers aren't packaged in VSIX (nor deployed to the experimental instance).

Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
