Description
Describe the Issue
After installed C# Dev Kit the .dotnet folder is created on user home directory despite I have the DOTNET_CLI_HOME environment variable set to a different location.
Within the .dotnet folder two other folders are created: symbolcache and visualizers. The former seems to be related to SourceLink but I have no idea about the last one.
Steps To Reproduce
No response
Expected Behavior
This extension should not make a mess in home directory, and respect the DOTNET_CLI_HOME if it is set.
Environment Information
OS: Mac
VS Code: 1.99.3
C# Dev Kit: v1.18.25

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on macOS with VS Code 1.99.3 and C# Dev Kit v1.18.25 while DOTNET_CLI_HOME points elsewhere. Trace which extension entry point creates the user-home .dotnet/symbolcache and .dotnet/visualizers folders, then verify that the folders are created under the configured location instead.
