Issue Number: fix #1430

What is the new behavior?

Added a AssemblyLoadContext per extension discovered in DevToys, which allows each extension to load every assemblies it needs in an isolated manner. This allows .NET to load and use multiple versions of an assembly at the same time.

Note: This feature is NOT supported by Android, iOS and WebAssembly. But we don't care since we don't target them.
