Description

Today we pack everything in MSTest.TestFramework. It's a better idea to split UWP/WinUI support into new NuGet packages, MSTest.UWP and MSTest.WinUI. This will also make the packaging fitting into lib more naturally instead of us trying to detect the platform and plugging the assemblies ourselves.

Research direction

Start by locating how MSTest.TestFramework currently packages UWP and WinUI support and how platform detection plugs assemblies into lib. Define the boundaries for the proposed MSTest.UWP and MSTest.WinUI packages, then verify that the resulting packaging no longer needs the existing platform-specific assembly handling.
