[MTP] IncludeTestAssembly default to true

In MTP (MSTest) the IncludeTestAssembly defaults to false. The ask is to make it default to true.

Code coverage of a test assembly has one practical meaning: in a PR, once presented to the reviewer that certain lines are covered, is an indication that the whole build+test+collect+visualize pipeline works.

I personally do agree that IncludeTestAssembly is a better default.

In past, there was an ask for coverlet coverlet-coverage/coverlet#618 which I do agree with.

fhnaseer We will need to update the documentation as well.

Test projects will be included by default in the coverage report from version 18.3.x onwards. Default behavior is now same as vstest.console.exe test.dll /EnableCodeCoverage.

This change has been reverted due to dotnet test failing on linux. dotnet/sdk#52029
