Description
Our Visual Studio VSIX currently runs ngen on many assemblies we redistribute that are now (after #14739) used primarily from the Shared Assembly Cache (SAC).
https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/blob/f8839a065388248b5403b846f224dbcc5f54d999/src/Package/MSBuild.VSSetup/files.swr#L58-L60
We should drop the ngen requests for those assemblies, but leave them so they're loadable by anything that isn't SAC-aware yet.

Research direction
Start in src/Package/MSBuild.VSSetup/files.swr at lines 58-60 and review the ngen entries for assemblies now primarily used from the Shared Assembly Cache. Remove the ngen requests while retaining the assemblies for non-SAC-aware consumers; the open linked pull request is also relevant to the current state of this work.
