Description
### Describe the bug
Visual Studio has been getting bug reports that debugging AWS lambda functions using the .NET lambda test tools does not work. We've tracked this down to the fact that, somehow, amazon.lambda.testtool-8.0 is being compiled with Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET) enabled. CET is not compatible with .NET 8, though it is with .NET 9. Under normal circumstances, CET cannot be enabled for .NET projects. There must be some custom configuration that is turning it on during build, though I've not been able to track it down in this code base. As a result, customers are ending up with erratic stepping behavior when using amazon.lambda.testtool-8.0.
You can see that CET is enabled in the executable by running the following command:
``` dumpbin /headers dotnet-lambda-test-tool-8.0.exe```
After the 'Debug Directories' entry, you will see a couple of lines that look like this:
```
00000001 extended DLL characteristics
CET compatible
```
Indicating that CET has been enabled for the binary.
### Regression Issue
- [ ] Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.
### Expected Behavior
When running ```dumpbin /headers``` there should be no data indicating that CET has been enabled for the binary.
### Current Behavior
CET is enabled.
### Reproduction Steps
``` dumpbin /headers dotnet-lambda-test-tool-8.0.exe```
After the 'Debug Directories' entry, you will see a couple of lines that look like this:
```
00000001 extended DLL characteristics
CET compatible
```
