dotnet/installer repo is deprecated, does not have tags for v9 releases

Hi, I'm evaluating proto for our dev environments and came across your plugin. I was hoping to install the recent v9 stable release, but proto lsr dotnet only shows pre-release versions for v9.

It seems that the source you're using for version tags has been deprecated by the dotnet SDK team, and the README now says that the dotnet/sdk repo will be the source of truth going forward.

I noticed a note in proto.rs that there was an issue with pre-release version tags being slightly off when sourced from dotnet/sdk, so perhaps switching over there isn't possible. But if the installer repo is no longer being updated, perhaps it would be worth combining the two sources and using dotnet/installer for versions before v9 and dotnet/sdk going forward? That may mess up future pre-release versions though, so maybe not the best solution...

At any rate, I figured it was worth bringing to your attention in case you weren't already aware. Cheers :)

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to report this and investigating the issue.

The sourcing of the versions are a bit of a mess as you see, but I think you're right that the correct path forward would be combining the lists. I guess the list from the deprecated repo could be baked in, to avoid introducing a second blocking fetch and since it won't change going forward anyway.

I don't personally use Proto anymore, so someone else would have to step up to do the work and I'd gladly merge a PR for it.
