Research direction

Start at the paket config add-credentials command and reproduce the failure on macOS with the .NET Core 3.0 or 3.1 SDK variant. Trace why the command reaches the Windows DPAPI/NTLM path; done means credentials can be added without the PlatformNotSupportedException and the reported command succeeds.
