Fixes: #56163

PR #58523 fixed something on Windows, but it didn't actually address
our issues on Android.

A directory name like `foo Ümläüts` fails:

* `mkdir 'foo Ümläüts' ; cd 'foo Ümläüts'`
* `dotnet new android`
* `dotnet build -c Release -p:RunAOTCompilation=true` (adding
  `-p:EnableLLVM=true` complicates further)

The error:

    Precompiling failed for C:\src\foo Ümläüts\obj\Release\android-arm64\linked\System.Private.CoreLib.dll: Error: Loaded assembly 'C:\src\foo ├£ml├ñ├╝ts\obj\Release\android-arm64\linked\System.Private.CoreLib.dll' doesn't match original file name 'C:\foo ▄mlΣⁿts\obj\Release\android-arm64\linked\System.Private.CoreLib.dll'. Set MONO_PATH to the assembly's location.

Reviewing the existing AOT implementation in Xamarin.Android, I found
out *why* Xamarin.Android works:

    [AOT] response file obj\Release\120\aot\arm64-v8a\App36.dll\response.txt: --llvm "--aot=temp-path=obj\Release\120\aot\arm64-v8a\App36.dll,llvm-path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android,outfile=obj\Release\120\aot\arm64-v8a\libaot-App36.dll.so,msym-dir=obj\Release\120\aot\arm64-v8a,asmwriter,mtriple=aarch64-linux-android,tool-prefix=C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\aarch64-linux-android-,ld-name=ld.EXE,ld-flags=\"-LC:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\lib\gcc\aarch64-linux-android\4.9.x\";\"-LC:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\ndk-bundle\platforms\android-21\arch-arm64\usr\lib\";\"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\lib\gcc\aarch64-linux-android\4.9.x\libgcc.a\";\"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\ndk-bundle\platforms\android-21\arch-arm64\usr\lib\libc.so\";\"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\ndk-bundle\platforms\android-21\arch-arm64\usr\lib\libm.so\"" C:\Users\jopepper\source\repos\App36\App36\obj\Release\120\android\assets\shrunk\App36.dll

1. Xamarin.Android passes *relative* paths. The `foo Ümläüts`
   directory name doesn't even come into play for some arguments.

2. With LLVM, `ld-flags` contains a `;`.

The existing code splits on `;` and joins on `,`:

https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/25c207351c4f57cf2daa98caaf327a8b8d83edb8/src/tasks/AotCompilerTask/MonoAOTCompiler.cs#L505-L509

So we lose any `;` delimiters for the `ld-flags` value, they get
replaced by `,`.

I think the solution here is:

1. Add several missing properties to `<MonoAOTCompiler/>` so we don't
   have to rely on the `%(AotArguments)` item metadata. No splitting
   on `;` would be required, `ld-flags` can be passed in and used as-is.

2. Add a new `WorkingDirectory` property. When this is set, assume
   paths passed in might be relative -- and don't transform paths by
   calling `Path.GetFullPath()`.

Lastly, I fixed a place where the UTF8 encoding wasn't passed when
MSBuild logging the response file.

These changes I tried to make in a way where this shouldn't break
other .NET workloads like wasm. If existing MSBuild targets call this
task (not using the new properties), the behavior should remain
unchanged.

I tested these changes by commiting a modified `MonoAOTCompiler.dll`:

dotnet/android#6562

I'm able to enable several AOT tests related to #56163.
