Microsoft.Build.Locator dependency is not source-buildable

See original GitHub issue

Because the sdk includes the dotnet-format tool in .NET 6.0, dotnet-format needs to be included in source-build. This means all the source dependencies must also be source-built. The Microsoft.Build.Locator dependency is not included in .NET 6.0 source-build and is not something that would be very easy to support because it doesn’t utilize arcade and because of its VS dependencies. Given source-build doesn’t support Windows, is there a way to remove this dependency ((https://github.com/dotnet/format/blob/main/src/Commands/FormatCommandCommon.cs#L344) for source-built versions of dotnet-format?

MicroBuild.Core is included in source-build-reference-packages.

just for source build in .NET 6. That would mean the command works very differently between source built versions and binary distributions.

I was suggesting to do this always for the dotnet-format that ships in the .NET SDK - both for Microsoft distributed and source-build. So the different code would be between the OOB dotnet-format NuGet package and the dotnet-format command inbox in the SDK.
