Add debug build configuration support for MAUI Android and iOS scenarios

[Copilot]

Adds support for debug configured runs (-c Debug) for MAUI Android and iOS scenario benchmarks by passing buildConfig: debug through the pipeline and into the pre.py publish command.

Changes

scripts/run_performance_job.py

• Added DEFAULT_BUILD_CONFIG constant for the default "Release" configuration
• Extended get_run_configurations() to include BuildConfig in configurations for maui_scenarios_android and maui_scenarios_ios run_kinds
• Added BuildConfig environment variable for MSBuild payload preparation

eng/performance/maui_scenarios_android.proj

• Added -c $(BuildConfig) to pre.py publish command

eng/performance/maui_scenarios_ios.proj

• Changed hardcoded -c Release to -c $(BuildConfig)

eng/pipelines/sdk-perf-jobs.yml

• Added 8 duplicate job definitions with buildConfig: debug for all existing MAUI scenarios:
  • Android: Mono ProfiledAOT, Mono AOT, CoreCLR JIT/R2R/R2RComposite/NativeAOT
  • iOS: Mono FullAOT, CoreCLR NativeAOT

Original prompt

We want to add debug configured runs to the current testing we are doing for the apps in the maui_scenarios_android.proj and the maui_scenarios_ios.proj files. Can you come up with some solutions to getting properly setup debug builds (via passing -c debug into the python pre.py publish command)? The first approach that comes to mind would be to take advantage of the BuildConfig job parameter at the sdk-perf-jobs.yml jobParameters level, passing through buildConfig: debug on a duplicate set of the mobile jobs. Than we could update get_run_configurations in run_performance_job.py to include "BuildConfig" as a configuration for the maui_scenarios_android and maui_scenarios_ios run_kinds. Finally, the _BuildConfig would be passed into the pre.py publish command as the configuration. We would also add this as a part of the RunConfig as string property.
