Retarget DOTNETHOME when installing x64 on ARM64
Customer Impact
Customers want to install our x64 product on arm64 machines in order to run x64 targeted applications.
Testing
We have tested the Windows - runtime consumption of these in main and confirmed it produces installers which behave as we expect. We have tested the changes in isolation as well. It is difficult to test the full end-to-end due to 7.0 not having coherent builds and these changes spanning many repos to realize full end-to-end.
Risk
Low - as designed these changes should not impact existing working scenarios. The risk here is that we have a bug that accidentally impacts those scenarios. We've tried to mitigate that through testing consumption in main. We'll also mitigate by testing bits out of RC2 branches as soon as these changes flow.
