Fixes # ### Context Design: NuGet/Home#12124 To allow duplicate frameworks in aliasing, the project reference protocol nearest framework selection needs to be updated to support matching by alias as well. Relevant part: https://github.com/NuGet/Home/blob/dev-nkolev92-tfmaliases/accepted/2025/Multiple-Equivalent-Framework-Support-TFM-As-Aliases.md#project-to-project-references NuGet/NuGet.Client#7011 NuGet.Client side adding the parameter. NuGet/NuGet.Client#6972 will add the full implementation at a later point. ### Changes Made - Pass CurrentProjectTargetFrameworkProperty if GetReferenceNearestTargetFrameworkTaskSupportsTargetFrameworKPropertyParameter is set. - If GetReferenceNearestTargetFrameworkTaskSupportsTargetFrameworKPropertyParameter is not set, but GetReferenceNearestTargetFrameworkTaskSupportsTargetPlatformParameter is set, call the old variation. - Otherwise calls the last variation. ### Testing - Manual testing. - I'd be happy to add tests if someone can point me in the right direction. ### Notes The idea here is to get ahead of things. Currently aliasing work can't be end to end tested because it requires an msbuild change. It makes it really hard to validate the NuGet changes are enough and good, but this is the only change needed on the msbuild side. --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

Bug
Progress: NuGet/Home#14536
Description
In order to allow for E2E integration of the aliasing feature to work (ie, to verify that we can run build on an aliased lock file), we need the project reference protocol inputs to be setup.
https://github.com/NuGet/Home/blob/dev-nkolev92-tfmaliases/accepted/2025/Multiple-Equivalent-Framework-Support-TFM-As-Aliases.md#project-to-project-references
This PR adds the parameter to TargetFramework, which will be consider at a later point. #6972 is already implemented, but it's not at the quality we need it to be just yet because of the lack of the ability to add E2E tests at this point.
MSBuild side in dotnet/msbuild#12932.
