[Feature]: MSBuild property equivalent to CORE_WEBVIEW_TARGET_PRODUCT_VERSION

[mediawolf]

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

Microsoft.Web.WebView2 NuGet package should define a MSBuild property containing the required version of WebView2 Runtime. The same version which is currently provided in the Release Notes and WebView2EnvironmentOptions.h (C++):

#define CORE_WEBVIEW_TARGET_PRODUCT_VERSION L"148.0.3967.48"

Also, it's hard-coded inside Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.dll.

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

This version is exactly what I need in my WiX Bundle DetectCondition\InstallCondition, when deciding whether to run MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe. I use the registry check from Detect if a WebView2 Runtime is already installed.

Majority of the users have newer versions of WebView2 Runtime already installed thankfully to auto-updates. So, I would like to avoid running MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe unconditionally because:

• It's rarely needed due to auto-updates.
• It takes time (noticeable delay) to go online to check for newer versions and updates, which aren't required to run my application.
• WebView2 Runtime might be in use and that complicates the installation.
