Description
### Summary
Using MSBuild APIs to do the equivalent of `msbuild.exe -restore` is complicated: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/fcd9a9224c91132226206ebd15922e42fb3ed483/src/Cli/dotnet/commands/VirtualProjectBuildingCommand.cs#L51-L80
It would be nice to have an API for this instead.
### Background and Motivation
https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/pull/2414 introduced implicit restore command line argument but no API as far as I can see.
Similar issue for MSBuild Task: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/2811
### Proposed Feature
Something like `new BuildRequestData(..., implicitRestore: true)`?
### Alternative Designs
