[net11.0] [dotnet] Fix computing _LibMonoLinkMode when not using Mono.

[rolfbjarne]

In particular use static libraries when using any runtime on device.

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR fixes the computation of _LibMonoLinkMode when not using the Mono runtime, ensuring that static libraries are used for device builds with NativeAOT. The change corrects the MSBuild logic to properly handle different runtime types (MonoVM, CoreCLR, NativeAOT) and platforms.

• Refactored _LibMonoLinkMode computation to properly handle NativeAOT and CoreCLR runtimes
• Updated logic to enforce static linking for iOS/tvOS device builds (except temporary CoreCLR exception)
• Updated test expectations to reflect smaller app bundle size due to static linking
