Consider specifying optional dependency on MsQuic

Description

Since .NET 7, we officially support HTTP/3 (it's by default turned on). Our implementation of QUIC and HTTP/3 depends on https://github.com/microsoft/msquic. This dependency must be manually installed in Linux machines from packages.microsoft.com, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/networking/quic/quic-overview#linux.

I suggest we specify this dependency (as optional) in the published dotnet runtime packages on packages.microsoft.com.

is there such thing as optional dependency? Is there precedent you are aware of @ManickaP ?
