Description
Our VSIX redistributes many assemblies that are now (after #14739) loaded from Visual Studio's Shared Assembly Cache instead of the copies we redistribute. We should be able to stop distributing them.
However, I'd like to do this conservatively, after #14827 gets a good amount of bake time, so IMO we should not do this until Spring 2027 or later.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the VSIX assembly packaging and the changes from #14739, then identify which redistributed assemblies are now loaded from Visual Studio's Shared Assembly Cache. Wait for #14827 to get the requested bake time; done means those redundant assemblies are no longer distributed without breaking the VSIX.
