Use global NuGet cache in acceptance integration tests

[Youssef1313]

I'm not sure why we had .packages cache per asset previously. Let's see if something will fail.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the test infrastructure and integration tests to stop using a per-asset .packages restore location and instead rely on the ambient/global NuGet cache behavior (e.g., NUGET_PACKAGES from the environment or the default user global-packages folder).

Changes:

• Remove the explicit NUGET_PACKAGES override from DotnetCli.RunAsync and remove .packages from generated NuGet.config.
• Simplify acceptance test fixtures by removing the custom NuGet cache TempDirectory wiring and updating all derived fixtures.
• Update performance runner steps and all test call sites to the updated DotnetCli.RunAsync signature.

This is problematic when iterating locally (I have done a longer explanation in our team chat).

[Youssef1313]

Drafting - need to ensure that re-packing production changes don't break things up.

Maybe what we can do is:

• Unify the global package cache at artifacts/tmp/.packages
• In asm init, we delete that folder.

What I need to double check:

• Is every test asset getting its own cache currently?
