Improve error messages reported when a workload is missing

See original GitHub issue

When a repo is cloned that requires certain workload to be installed (e.g. vsmac) that is not currently installed, dotnet restore reports the following error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.102\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.ImportWorkloads.targets(38,5):
error NETSDK1147: To build this project, the following workloads must be installed: macos

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.102\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.ImportWorkloads.targets(38,5):
error NETSDK1147: To install these workloads, run the following command: dotnet workload restore

Following the suggestion and running dotnet workload restore fails with a cryptic error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.102\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets(1226,3):
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.102\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\13.1.1024\targets\Xamarin.Shared.Sdk.MultiTarget.targets" was not found. 
Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration ";..\13.1.1024\targets\Xamarin.Shared.Sdk.MultiTarget.targets" is correct,
and that the file exists on disk.

The actual command that’s need to build the repo is: dotnet workload install macos

The error message should be fixed to point the user the right direction.

error MSB4019: The imported project “C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.102\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\13.1.1024\targets\Xamarin.Shared.Sdk.MultiTarget.targets” was not found.

This particular error message should disappear with this fix: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pull/17498

That said, I don’t know if that would help the underlying issue (that the suggested solution from the error message doesn’t work).
