This seems to duplicate a lot of what's in the other MCP server quickstart. Can we combine them, or perhaps require the other one as a prerequisite of a quickstart that only deals with publishing the MCP server to NuGet?

AFAIK this PR is ready to go. The only missing pieces are:

Actual template version, pending .NET 10 Preview 6 release
Screenshots from NuGet.org (non-blocking, nice to have, should be available before the actual template version)
