….Reflection Implements the API proposal detailed and approved in issue dotnet#101616. This new API will allow developers to change the entry assembly of their .NET apps on the fly, should they require it. One important scenario is app launchers. With the usage of this API, then functions like `GetEntryAssembly()` will return the right value, and thus we will be able to ensure the information is consistent and correct.

Backport of #102271 to release/8.0

GetEntryAssembly()will return the right value, and thus we will be able to ensure the information is consistent and correct.Customer Impact
The Azure functions team is using this API in .NET 9 and want to bring this APi back to .NET 8 in order to avoid adding too much unnecessary code for the scenario they are trying to support. This API will only be available via reflection.
Testing
Added automated tests that use reflection to call the API
Risk
Low risk.
