VisualStudioHelpers.ps1 stop enabling 8.3 filename creation ( #9862 )
...
The bug that prompted enabling 8.3 filename creation was fixed 5 years ago, see https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/issues/3407 :
> Fix included in Xamarin.Android 10.1.0.30.
>
> Fix included on Windows in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4.
We're on VS 2019 16.11: 9815039618/images/windows/Windows2019-Readme.md (L233)
8.3 filename creation is known to hurt file creation performance, especially when there are a large number of similarly named files in the same folder:

I created a new VM with the base Azure Marketplace Windows 2019 image and confirmed that 8.3 name generation is disabled by default for both the OS and temp disk:
```
fsutil 8dot3name query C:
The volume state is: 1 (8dot3 name creation is disabled).
The registry state is: 2 (Per volume setting - the default).
Based on the above settings, 8dot3 name creation is disabled on C:
fsutil 8dot3name query D:
The volume state is: 1 (8dot3 name creation is disabled).
The registry state is: 2 (Per volume setting - the default).
Based on the above settings, 8dot3 name creation is disabled on D:
```
This might help a bit with https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/752 , although I haven't tested it, and AFAICT it's unlikely make an order of magnitude difference.
