Native gRPC assemblies (grpc_csharp_ext.*.dll, libgrpc_csharp_ext.*) were being packaged as contentFiles, causing them to appear as linked items in Solution Explorer when consuming the package. These files are still needed at runtime but should flow through transitively from the Grpc.Core dependency rather than being bundled in this package.

Summary
Fixes the issue where native gRPC assemblies appeared as linked items in Solution Explorer when installing the package.
The previous approach (PR #32) added a
.targetsfile to hide the items, but this didn't work because the files were being packaged ascontentFileswithin the Otel4Vsix package itself.This fix removes the gRPC native files from the package during
dotnet packusing a Target that runs beforeGenerateNuspec. The files will still be available at runtime through the transitive Grpc.Core dependency.Files excluded:
