* feat: add dotnet-version: latest keyword with dotnet-channel support (#497)

* restore test-proxy container image

* update e2e-tests.yml and documentation

* fix(tests): correct release-type and support-phase values in latest-version test mocks

* Don't download releases-index.json to resolving major version

Starting with .NET 5 the minor version is always zero.
The earlier releases don't get new versions anymore so we can hardcode the minor version instead of downloading releases-index.json to do the lookup.

* Remove unused variable

* Apply suggestions from code review

Update externals/install-dotnet.ps1 and externals/install-dotnet.sh to
the v2026.05.19 release of dotnet/install-scripts. This uptakes the
changes from dotnet/install-scripts#697 which preserves archive links
during installation (hardlinks on Windows, symlinks on Linux) as part
of dotnet/sdk#52182.

On Windows, .NET 11.0+ is now installed via tar.gz archives which
preserves hardlinks, significantly reducing disk space usage.

The newer versions are net8.0/net462+ only, making older .NET sdks more annoying to test
