.NET 7 samples size report

[richlander]

We're working on a samples update for .NET 8 and are tracking size numbers at #4756. It makes sense to produce a similar report for .NET 7 as a baseline.

The two reports are not quite apples to apples. That's because both aspnetapp and dotnetapp samples included self-contained + trimming (--slim) examples. Those have been removed in favor of separate single file and AOT samples, with .NET 8. However, the framework-dependent samples are directly comparable. releasesapi and releasesapp .NET samples are semi-reasonable comparisons to the .NET 7 --slim varieties.

Both x64 and Arm64 reports are provided. These chip types support different ISAs (naturally) and the amount of code needed is not the same (which directly contributes to size). Arm64 biases to bigger.
