[release/7.0.3xx] [msbuild] Add support to the ResolveNativeReference…

…s task to execute remotely. Fixes #19027. (#19048)

It looks like ResolveNativeReferences was always intended to execute remotely
from Windows (when used in the _ExpandNativeReferences target, the task is
given a session id, and only called when IsMacEnabled=true), but the task
itself never implemented the code to execute remotely.

Weirdly enough this was never an issue, because the task never did something
that had to be done on a Mac.

That is, until recently, when the task learned to decompress zip files, by
executing /usr/bin/unzip.

Obviously this doesn't work on Windows, so fix it by adding support for the
task to execute remotely.

Fixes #19027.

Backport of #19047.
