Add information on how to set Linking behavior manually (editting in csproj file)

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

I am using VS Code and there is no useful info on how to set the Linking settings manually in the .csproj file. Luckily I could use VS on Windows to see what values they are. Please add these information regarding the MtouchLink:

<MtouchLink>None</MtouchLink>
<MtouchLink>SdkOnly</MtouchLink>
<MtouchLink>Full</MtouchLink>

Hi @datvm

In .NET 9, linking has been replaced with trimming (or the trimmer is the latest implementation of linking). Therefore the linking doc is for .NET 8 users, with the trimming doc for .NET 9 users. Because .NET MAUI in .NET 8 goes out of support in May there are no plans for update the linking doc.
