Numerous failures while building efcore tests in VMR

[NikolaMilosavljevic]

Here are the errors encountered when we tried to enable building tests in VMR:

For repro, add /p:DotNetBuildTests=true to your Windows VMR build command, i.e.: build -prepareMachine -c Release /p:TargetOS=windows /p:TargetArchitecture=x64 /bl /p:DotNetBuildTests=true

This is a result of dotnet/runtime#110197, which adds an overload of MemoryExtensions.Contains that has an optional comparer parameter, but expression trees do not support optional parameters (in this repo we haven't yet updated to a version of the SDK which has this).

I'll follow up on this in that issue.

FYI I've submitted #35569 to temporary comment out the problematic tests and allow EF to build with the latest SDK - until we decide how to properly fix the situation.
