Problem
When trying to run MAUI performance tests against an SDK version that is earlier than the one specified in global.json, the installation fails. This happens because:
https://maui.blob.core.windows.net/metadata/sdks/net9.0.json
)DOTNET_MULTILEVEL_LOOKUP=0
settingSolution

Key aspects of the implementation:
The changes are isolated to the MAUI installation code and won't affect other parts of the codebase.
