Copy .msym files to output path on publish

[Redth]

Android application type

.NET Android (net7.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

N/A

Description

dotnet public -f net7.0-android -o ./artifacts causes the .apk and .aab to output correctly, however it would be good to also get the .msym files copied here (or if that seems weird by default, perhaps another property to specify the path to copy them to).

Looks like MonoSymbolArchive=True needs to be set to actually produce them, and then they might output there? Perhaps we should consider defaulting that to true for publish with release configs?

However setting it to true yields:

/usr/local/share/dotnet/packs/Microsoft.Android.Sdk.Darwin/33.0.46/tools/Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(2202,3): error MSB6004: The specified task executable location "/usr/local/share/dotnet/packs/Microsoft.Android.Sdk.Darwin/33.0.46/tools/Darwin/mono-symbolicate" is invalid. 

@steveisok @jonathanpeppers do we not have mono-symbolicate in our workloads?
