PowerToys Extension: Use project build because we don't need packagereference (#46080)

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?

## Summary of the Pull Request
At first version, tried to use the project reference instead of package
reference, while it did not work in my local environment, so used
package reference instead.

While planned to project reference for many reasons like first day
problem explosure in sdk, maintain the strict consistent winmd with the
extension host.

Hopefully to solve some of the extension not starting problem.
