Pull request overview

This PR wires up Helix Job Monitor support across the runtime Azure DevOps pipelines by introducing a useHelixMonitor parameter through the relevant YAML templates, enabling it for the runtime pipeline test legs, and adding the Helix Job Monitor .NET tool/dependency so the monitor job can run.

Changes:

Add a HelixJobMonitor job to eng/pipelines/runtime.yml (Build stage) using the shared eng/common template.
Plumb a useHelixMonitor parameter through Helix-related pipeline templates and pass /p:EnableHelixJobMonitor=... through the various “send to helix” paths.
Add Microsoft.DotNet.Helix.JobMonitor tool/dependency and pin it in .config/dotnet-tools.json.

eng/pipelines/common/templates/browser-wasm-coreclr-build-tests.yml:145

This template hard-codes useHelixMonitor: true when invoking the libraries Helix template. Since other Helix templates were updated to accept a useHelixMonitor parameter (defaulting to false) and runtime.yml is now explicitly setting it, this hard-coded true makes the behavior inconsistent and harder to roll back/experiment with.

Consider adding a useHelixMonitor parameter to this template (default false) and threading it through instead of hard-coding true.
