Setup Environment runs dotnet workload restore without a project, so it evaluates every project in Sentry.slnx, whatever the leg builds. From the logs of run 39858273561:

• The three Linux legs without mobile targets install android, maui-android, maui-tizen, macos, wasm-tools and wasm-tools-net9, which takes 83 to 113 seconds.
• Windows installs ios, maccatalyst and macos, but it only builds Android and Windows targets.
• Every leg installs maui-tizen, which nothing targets, and macos, which only Sentry.Samples.MacOS needs.
• Every leg restores the Android test app, which only the macOS and linux-x64 filters need, because they include Sentry.Android.AssemblyReader.Tests.

This PR scopes the step to what the leg builds:

• build-sentry passes its solution filter to Setup Environment, and the step restores the workloads for the projects in it. dotnet workload restore rejects a solution filter with "Couldn't find a project", so the step passes the filter's projects instead. I checked locally that this installs only what those projects need. If it finds no projects in the filter, the step stops with an error that names the filter.
• The Android test app restore runs only when the filter includes the tests that build it.
• The legs without mobile targets skip Java and the Android SDK.
• Every other job that uses Setup Environment passes what it builds too. More on that below.

This PR leaves Mono alone, and #5794 removes it. The MAUI integration test restores its own workloads in CI, so it isn't affected.

Measured on two runs of this PR, against the median of 7 main runs from October 22 and 23:

Setup Environment	main	Run 1	Run 2
macOS	3.1 min	2.6	2.6
win-x64	5.4	3.3	4.3
win-arm64	8.7	6.5	4.8
linux-x64	3.4	2.7	2.8
linux-arm64	3.4	2.0	1.9
linux-musl-x64	2.8	1.1	1.8
linux-musl-arm64	3.0	1.2	1.4

• The three Linux legs without mobile targets now install no workloads at all, and linux-x64 installs only android, maui-android and maui-tizen.
• Windows still uses the image's MSI-based .NET here, so the step keeps updating the preinstalled workloads. ci: install .NET and NuGet packages on a faster drive on Windows #5782 removes that.
• The whole workflow didn't get shorter in these runs, because macOS still built the Cocoa SDK on main then. ci: cache the Cocoa SDK build #5781 has cached it since.

This overlaps #5782 on Windows, which changes where .NET is installed, and both skip the Android test app there. I'm keeping them apart so we can see what each one is worth, and I'll resolve the conflict when the second one merges.

Every job now restores only what it builds

The environment action now requires projects, the solution filters or project files the job builds, separated by spaces. Jobs that build everything pass Sentry.slnx, and a job that passes nothing fails with an error that says what to pass. That way every workflow follows the same rule, instead of only the build legs.

• CodeQL, format-code and verify-api no longer run a second, unfiltered dotnet workload restore after the action.
• The Playwright job restores only its test project's workloads.
• dotnet workload restore doesn't see the Android test app, because Sentry.Android.AssemblyReader.Tests builds it with an MSBuild task rather than a project reference. The action still adds it for Sentry.slnx, and for jobs that pass those tests or the app.

On top of the other CI changes, Setup Environment went from about 190 to 89 seconds in the trim job and from 170-180 to 71-78 in the Android device test build.

I'm continuing this in #5807, part 1 of 6 in #5806, so the CI changes can be reviewed in a few steps instead of 13 PRs. The measurements here stay as the record.
