Allow using VisualStudioLocationHelper on .NET Core

I'm working on https://github.com/dotnet/upgrade-assistant that runs as a .NET 5 app, but we need to be able to get msbuild location from VS to find some targets such as WebApplications.targets. However, we end up having to duplicate the VisualStudioLocationHelper so that we can use it. Can this be exposed as an option for query? I totally understand not having it be included by default, but would love to be able to opt into it.
