Cannot update NuGet package due to conflicting BuildTools versions

Describe the bug

Internal bug: https://task.ms/37068467

Our project templates have an explicit reference to the BuildTools package, and the WinAppSDK package also has a dependency reference on it.

This causes some problems when trying to update the WinAppSDK package due to conflicting BuildTools versions. Uninstalling the BuildTools package seems to easily fix it, but it's unclear whether there's a reason we need to explicitly reference the BuildTools package.

We need to investigate and determine whether it's actually needed or whether we can remove it.

Steps to reproduce the bug (and potential workaround)

  1. Install 1.0 Preview 3 VSIX and File->New a single-project project
  2. Attempt to update the WinAppSDK NuGet package to 1.0
  3. Notice the update fails due to conflicting BuildTools versions
  4. Uninstall the BuildTools package
  5. Try updating WinAppSDK again - this time it works
  6. Build and run your app - it seemingly all works fine?
