An umbrella pins its platform binding packages by exact version, by hand. When
a platform repository publishes, nothing said so: the umbrella kept resolving
the older binding and consumers kept getting it, silently, until somebody
noticed. The native SDKs were watched; this authors own packages, the ones
actually most likely to move, were the blind spot - the manifest comment said
as much in so many words.

Adds a `nuget` check kind to the shared build/check-upstream.sh and a row per
pinned platform package, so the existing daily upstream-drift workflow reports
them alongside the native SDKs, with the same open/comment/close issue
lifecycle. Discovery is the flat containers version index; confirmation is the
.nupkg beside it, which is a ZIP, so the existing PK magic-byte check applies
unchanged.

Deliberately asymmetric, because the two directions mean opposite things:

  pin behind published   the umbrella is stale. This is the finding.
  pin ahead of published the platform release is not out yet, which is the
                         normal mid-flight state of a release train. Logged,
                         never filed, or every train would open an issue on
                         its way through.
  prerelease pin         checked first and always reported: `sort -V` ranks
                         2.34.1.4-beta.7.3 above 2.34.1.4, so it would
                         otherwise read as "ahead" and say nothing, while a
                         released umbrella depending on a beta is a defect.

Verified against live nuget.org rather than reasoned about - a three-case
fixture over a real package covering behind, equal and ahead, plus a run of
every umbrella. The run found four genuine stale pins, listed in the pull
request.
