`dotnet add package` can't update a GlobalPackageReference: it adds a
PackageReference to the project, which central package management
rejects ("PackageVersion ... defined in incorrect location"). Since
dotnet-outdated#697 a GlobalPackageReference with a literal version went through it
unless --no-restore was set, so `--upgrade` failed (dotnet-outdated#681).
The version locator now asks the evaluator whether a package's version
comes from a GlobalPackageReference and in which file, and the upgrade
writes that file directly and restores the project once (shared with
the variable path's restore-once logic). This also handles a
GlobalPackageReference declared outside Directory.Packages.props.
Fixes dotnet-outdated#681

See #529 (comment) for background.
Originally, the dotnet CLI did not support projects that used Central Package Management, so specialized code was added to
dotnet-outdatedto handle CPM. Shortly thereafter, CPM support was added to the dotnet CLI, so this bifurcated code is no longer needed (and causes errors in some cases as discussed above).This PR removes that obsolete code and is very nearly a simple reversion of commit 2d5967d.
