Pull request overview
Removes the external/debugger-libs submodule from the dotnet/android repo and cleans up all related solution entries, test references, and restore/configuration artifacts so the repo no longer depends on Mono.Debugging/Mono.Debugger.Soft sources.
Changes:
- Removed
external/debugger-libsprojects fromXamarin.Android.slnandXamarin.Android.Build.Tasks.sln. - Dropped MSBuildDeviceIntegration project references and test
usingdirectives tied to debugger-libs. - Removed debugger-libs-specific restore configuration (NuGet source + override props) and the TPN-skill documentation entry.
