Refresh dotnet command reference

[meaghanlewis]

Summary

This pull request updates the documentation for several .NET CLI commands to align with the .NET 6 SDK and later, and improves accuracy, consistency, and clarity across multiple command reference articles. The most important changes include updating supported version statements, revising command option lists and defaults, and adding new options and help references. Below are the most significant changes grouped by theme.

Documentation version updates

• Changed the applicability statements in all affected CLI command docs (dotnet-build.md, dotnet-clean.md, dotnet-dev-certs.md, dotnet-format.md, dotnet-msbuild.md, dotnet-pack.md) to specify ".NET 6 SDK and later versions" for improved clarity and consistency. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Command option and behavior improvements

• Updated the synopsis and option lists for dotnet build, dotnet pack, and dotnet format to reflect current CLI syntax, including reordering, renaming, and clarifying options such as --self-contained, --use-current-runtime, and --disable-build-servers. Default behaviors for options like --self-contained are now more accurately described. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

• Added new options and improved descriptions, such as --check-trust-machine-readable for dotnet dev-certs, and expanded the option explanations for dotnet format to include new filtering and reporting capabilities. [1] [2] [3]

Inclusion of help and interactive references

• Standardized the placement and inclusion of [!INCLUDE [help](...)] and [!INCLUDE [interactive](...)] blocks across all command docs for improved discoverability and consistency. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Example and formatting consistency

• Improved example commands and formatting in dotnet format.md to match new option syntax, and clarified usage scenarios for style and analyzer subcommands.

Minor corrections and updates

• Updated ms.date fields to reflect the new documentation revision date and made minor formatting corrections in "See also" sections and option lists. [1] [2] [3]

These changes help keep the documentation up to date with the latest SDK releases and provide clearer guidance for users of the .NET CLI.

Fixes #48686

	Same as running `--check --trust`, but outputs the results in json.

Why do you include LEVEL here, but not, say for the severity option?

[gewarren]

Is dropping of true/false intentional?

Suggested change

The [`-p` abbreviation for `--project` is deprecated](../compatibility/sdk/6.0/deprecate-p-option-dotnet-run.md) starting in .NET 6 SDK SDK. For a limited time starting in .NET 6 SDK RC1 SDK, `-p` can still be used for `--project` despite the deprecation warning. If the argument provided for the option doesn't contain `=`, the command accepts `-p` as short for `--project`. Otherwise, the command assumes that `-p` is short for `--property`. This flexible use of `-p` for `--project` will be phased out in .NET 7.
