Method not found: 'Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Core.Configurations.DataCollectorConfiguration Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Core.Configurations.ConfigurationFileUtility.GetConfiguration(System.Xml.XmlElement, Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Core.ILogger)

Describe the bug

We are updating some packages, and the upgrade for MsTest seems to break some tests in Azure Pipelines:

`Data collector 'Code Coverage' message: Data collector 'Code Coverage' threw an exception during type loading, construction, or initialization: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Core.Configurations.DataCollectorConfiguration Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Core.Configurations.ConfigurationFileUtility.GetConfiguration(System.Xml.XmlElement, Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Core.ILogger)'

Steps To Reproduce

Update MsTest package to v3.8.0 or beyond.
(It seems in this version the CodeCoverage is now a dependency of MSTest metapackage)

WIth .NET472 test projects there is no problem, with .NET8 test projects, we see this error in Azure Pipelines.

Expected behavior

Tests are run and succeed with no errors.

Actual behavior

Test are run and succeed, after we get an error on the Code Coverage.
