Summary

Prepare coordinated patch releases for the FailureDetails.Properties deserialization compatibility fix merged in #1431.

Package	Current version	New version
Microsoft.Azure.DurableTask.Core	3.11.2	3.11.3
Microsoft.Azure.DurableTask.AzureStorage	2.11.2	2.11.3
Microsoft.Azure.DurableTask.ServiceBus	5.0.1	5.0.2
Microsoft.Azure.DurableTask.ApplicationInsights	0.13.1	0.13.2

All three companion packages' generated NuGet dependency groups require Core 3.11.3 or later. Existing package versioning conventions are unchanged.

This PR changes only package version metadata; the serialization fix is already merged. Netherite is maintained in a separate repository and is intentionally deferred to a separate follow-up. No packages have been published.

Validation

• Built all four packages in Release configuration across their existing target frameworks.
• Packed all four packages and inspected the generated NuGet manifests for package versions, target frameworks, and the Core dependency floor in every companion framework group.
• Verified packaged DLLs match build outputs and checked assembly/file version metadata.
• Passed the targeted failure serialization and exception-handling tests on both net8.0 and net48: 16 tests per framework.
• git diff --check passed.

Relates to #1431.

🟡 Changes recommended

The build does not pack Emulator into the staging directory before NuGet signing, so the version bump will not produce a signed Emulator 2.6.1 release artifact.

What changed in this PR

Prepares six coordinated patch releases for the FailureDetails.Properties deserialization compatibility fix already merged in #1431. This PR changes version metadata only, not serialization behavior.

Changes:

• Advances Core to 3.11.3, raising companion packages’ generated Core dependency floor through existing project references.
• Bumps all five companion packages while preserving their versioning conventions.
• Gives Emulator local package/file version overrides without changing shared defaults or its assembly identity.
