Temporary workaround for broken `vswhere.exe`

See original GitHub issue

There is a regression in the internal preview of VS where the vswhere tool does not report correct version of VS. To unblock dogfooders this, we’ve put a workaround in place: https://github.com/dotnet/arcade/pull/12721 We should revert this workaround once this gets fixed by VS.

This issue is a reminder to remove the workaround.

Just floating the context from an email thread here for book-keeping - the VS team has found a second bug and should have this fixed before the official rollout of preview 2

I understand a fix happened on VS’ side in the end and so there’s no workaround after all. I believe we can close this, @wtgodbe can correct me
