Use DotNetCoreCLI@2 for Nuget Restore to avoid 120 second timeout, and add RuntimeIdentifiers="" to avoid needing packages not in our feed (#3211)

## Why make this change? Closes #3210 Closes #3212 ## What is this change? We replace the `NuGetCommand@2` task with `DotNetCoreCLI@2 ` to avoid the hard coded 120 second timeout in the former which is causing pipeline failures. We add `restoreArguments: '/p:RuntimeIdentifiers=""'` to the pipelines for build and test. Since these pipelines only build and test (no publish), runtime packs aren't needed. The argument overrides `RuntimeIdentifiers` to empty during restore, skipping those downloads. ## How was this tested? Pipeline ran.
