Description

### Issue Description
It is possible though not recommended for customers to install the build tools sku on an ARM64 windows machine in emulation mode. We support c++/CLI in .NET 5 and support ARM64 in .NET 5 but do not support ARM64 c++/CLI

### Steps to Reproduce
Install VS or build tools on a windows arm64 machine (VS installer will warn you that this is not supported).
Try to build a c++/CLI project

### Expected Behavior
Improve the error experience to clarify that this combination of tools and configuration are not actually supported.

### Actual Behavior
Confusing error
