Feature request: Add `dotnet` BuildMethod in addition to `dotnet7`

[Beau-Gosse-dev]

Describe your idea/feature/enhancement

There is a custom build method called donet7 shown here: https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/blob/9f956dfa7760c50b86f79c1d86bef5a1b61e9e6f/samcli/lib/build/workflow_config.py#L150

This command isn't really specific to version 7 of .NET since it just calls into the underlying Lambda Builder for dotnet in general and the AWS extensions for the .NET CLI figures out what version of .NET it's building.

Proposal

dotnet7 could be replaced with dotnet to allow future custom runtime/provided runtime builds for .NET 9 and other non-Lambda supported .NET runtimes. However, to keep backwards compatibility, we could instead just add dotnet as a build method in addition to dotnet7

Things to consider:

1. Will this require any updates to the SAM Spec - No it should not
2. Will this require updates to the docs? - I'm not sure, but I can't seem to find dotnet7 mentioned in the docs

Additional Details

Here is the CR for when dotnet7 was added: https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/pull/4410/files

I can try to find time to implement this if you think it makes sense and don't see any potential problems with it.
