ASPNETCORE FIXES BUILD RACE CONDITION WHILE BUMPING CI TOOLING

AspNetCore shipped a fix for an intermittent parallel build failure that's been hitting developers during publish operations, while quietly upgrading its CI infrastructure across the board.

The team disabled compression in Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Internal.Assets to kill a race condition where parallel publishes were fighting over the same shared `obj/compressed/publish` directory, causing "file is being used by another process" failures [1]. This is a quality-of-life fix that stops random build timeouts in CI and local development. On the infrastructure side, actions/cache/restore bumped to 6.1.0 with improved read-only cache handling [2], and dotnet/arcade pushed mirror configuration support for Alpine, Ubuntu, and Debian environments [3][4]. Google's test framework also got a minor update addressing name resolution in gMock [5]. None of these are breaking changes, but the compression fix is worth pulling in the next time you're rebuilding your build matrix.
