Return T from Assert.IsInstanceOfType<T>()

See original GitHub issue

This PR introduced the generic version of the Assert.IsInstanceOfType<T>(). It will be much more useful to return the T from the method, so the two lines of code

Assert.IsInstanceOfType<MyType>(obj);
var myTypeObj = (MyType)obj;

can be replaced with a single line

var myTypeObj = Assert.IsInstanceOfType<MyType>(obj);

Removing UwpMinimum and WinUiMinimum helped. Thanks! For some reason, VS didn’t recognize the dotnet 8 sdk installed by the Build.cmd and I had to install it from here. But now I can build the code.
