Description
When we added PackageReference, we added two unconditional passes to restore every project upon every build first (we restore as PackageReference and then as packages.config).
This has 2 effects:
- makes the build slower: we end up spending ~30s-1m longer, just to get started on the real build, on every build
- it looks like sometimes msbuild writes despite nothing having changed; this breaks incremental builds, requiring rebuilding files that haven't changed
