### Description
1. Update donwload-artifacts to flex-downloadartifacts to make it eaiser
to debug.
2. Move the native files into Gpu.Windows and Gpu-linux packages.
Onnxruntime-Gpu has dependency on them.
3. update the package validation as well
4. Add 2 stages to run E2E test for GPU.Windows and GPU.Linux
for example:

### Motivation and Context
Single Onnxruntime.Gpu Package size has already excceded the Nuget size
limit.
We split the package into some smaller packages to make them can be
published.
For compatibility, the user can install or upgrade Onnxruntime.Gpu,
which will install Gpu.Windows and Gpu.Linux automatically.
And the user can only install Gpu.Windows and Gpu.Linux directly.
### Test Link
1. In ORT_NIGHTLY
2. Install the preview version in nuget-int. (nuget source:
https://apiint.nugettest.org/v3/index.json)

### Description
<!-- Describe your changes. -->
### Motivation and Context
Now, the nightly Microsoft.ML.Onnxruntime.Managed Nuget Packag couldn't
be added in dotnet console program in VS2022 with target framework .NET
6.0.
I just restore it to previous setting to make it work.
### Description
Make use of unsafe string constructor that is able to convert native
UTF-8 string straight into the string instance buffer.
### Motivation and Context
Reduce garbage,
### Description
<!-- Describe your changes. -->
Fix bad delegates.
Add script to detect mismatch, and run in CI and when creating nuget
package.
Ignore whitespace when looking at the diff to the .cs file as
clang-format ran.

#18363
### Description
Update the C# nuget build infrastructure to make building a test nuget
package more user friendly and to simplify
- Remove usage of dotnet and msbuild in CIs
- was temporary requirement until .net 6 MAUI was added to the released
Visual Studio
- remove SelectedTargets property and its usage
- Add property for excluding mobile targets
- generally we exclude based on the nuget package name
- can now specify `/p:IncludeMobileTargets=false` on the command line to
force exclusion
- support building test package using build.py `--build_nuget` better
- limit inclusion of xamarin targets as building with them requires a
lot more infrastructure
- use msbuild directly if xamarin targets are included. use dotnet
otherwise.
- remove quoting of property values as it doesn't appear to be necessary
and breaks when msbuild is being used
- add infrastructure to be able to pack the nuget package on linux with
`dotnet pack`
- `nuget pack` is not user friendly as-per comments in changes
- requires stub csproj to provide the nuspec path
- Remove netstandard1.0 targets from nuspec
- we removed support from the actual bindings previously
- Remove usage of nuget-staging directory when creating nuget package on
linux
- the nuspec file element has a fully qualified path for a source file
so there is no obvious benefit to copying to a staging directory prior
to packing
### Motivation and Context
Address issues with 1P users trying to create test nuget packages
locally.
Long overdue cleanup of CI complexity.
### Description
<!-- Describe your changes. -->
Fix missing attribute. Causes build error on release xamarin iOS build.
Fix some long lines as well.
### Motivation and Context
<!-- - Why is this change required? What problem does it solve?
- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
#16463 - once the dummy extensions nuget package is used this problem
shows up.
### Description
<!-- Describe your changes. -->
- fix issue with handling string input
- set minSdkVersion
- otherwise defaults to 19 which we don't support and the build breaks
- comment out the debug logging hook
- enabling it breaks the Android native logging
- can be enabled if you need to debug C# code
- update test data tools to allow creating input data for raw file
contents (e.g. audio) and from strings (e.g. auth token value)
- fix some warnings

Improve test setup
### Description
* Integrate `trt_multi_gpu` test stage in ORT post merge CI (Win-2xA10
vm)
* Deprecate Linux MultiGPU TRT CI (This vm will be deprecated soon)
* Add multi gpu support to existing C# test cases
* Deprecate unfunctional flag `--enable_multi_device_tests`
### Motivation and Context
* Two contexts of replacing Linux MultiGPU TRT CI:
* Flag `--enable_multi_device_tests` is not functional, which cannot
detect issues like #17036
* The Linux-2xM60 VM of this CI pool is about to be deprecated 9/6/23.
Need to enable this test in other dualGPU vm pool.
### Description
Fix comment reference to a renamed public API.
### Motivation and Context
Avoid confusion of incorrect docs.
We want this in 1.16 release
### Description
1. rename OrtValue.FillStringTensorElement to StringTensorSetElementAt .
To the API user I think we're conceptually setting the string at an
offset in the tensor with is roughly equivalent to `List<string> list
... list[index] = "value"`.
2. While working on new inference examples, I noticed that I am still
inclined to use `DenseTensor` for N-D indexing. Added `GetStrides()` and
`GetIndex()` from strides for long dims, so the user can obtain strides
and translate N-D indices into a flat index to operate directly on the
native `OrtValue` buffers. Expose these functions to the user.
3. Make sure we generate docs for C# public static functions.
### Description
1. use the pool with VS2022
2. upgrade System.Memory to 4.5.5
### Motivation and Context
Solve the build error while using VS2022:
`[Failure] Msbuild failed when processing the file
'D:\a\_work\1\s\csharp\src\Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime\Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.csproj'
with message: Method not found: 'System.ReadOnlySpan`1<Char>
Microsoft.IO.Path.GetFileName(System.ReadOnlySpan`1<Char>)'`

### Description
1) Added Sequence And Maps convenience APIs to create input Sequences
and Maps
and also visit the outputs.
2) Address OrtValue design issue when the values are created on top of
the
managed memory and the ortValues are used for sequence and maps
creation.
We should retain the original managed instances that keep the memory
pinned.
We opt to keep track of those and dispose of them within an instance of
OrtValue
that represents a Map or a Sequence.
3) Set `LangVersion` to default per [MS Versioning
Docs.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/configure-language-version)
### Motivation and Context
1) When writing code examples, use of Map and Sequences API proved to be
cumbersome.
2) It is a BUG, that we should address, as the managed memory can move
by the GC and lead to
intermittent crashes.
3) Make use of the most feature of the C#.

### Description
Introduce `Float16/BFloat16` support for C# and C++ APIs.
User should be able to perform conversions from `float` to/from
`Float16/BFloat16`, compare values and tests for `NaN, Inifnity, and
whether the number is denormalized.`
### Motivation and Context
User filed issues such as:
https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/issues/14303
### Description
Introduce an API that allows users to gain access to a string tensor
element buffer of requested length in bytes
so then can quickly load any utf8 data.
### Motivation and Context
Useful for testing an otherwise.
### Description
Expose `OrtValue` class API as first-class citizen.
Make it simular with C++ API.
Enable safe direct native memory access.
Make string tensor manipulation more efficient.
Avoid intermediate structures such as `NamedOnnxValue`,
`DisposableNamedOnnxvalue` and etc.
Provide more examples with `IOBinding`, although `OrtValue` API
potentially makes `IOBinding` redundant for most of scenarios, since
`OrtValue` can be created on top of any memory.
Run all the pre-trained models now with `OrtValue` API as well.
Obsolete `OrtExternalMemory class`. Obsolete IOBinding API that takes
`FixedBufferOnnxValue`.
### Motivation and Context
Make the API efficient and uniform with C++.
This aspires to address:

Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning NuGet fails to build on WinUI projects due
to the conflict between the ReferenceCopy of binaries that occurs with
managed applications, with the manual binplacement that occurs with
native appliactions.
With WinUI, both cases are triggered, and a duplicate binplace is
detected as an error.
Fix: Don't rely on the ReferenceCopy for WinUI applications, and
manually binplace the Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning dll.
### Description
The PR implements FloatE4M3FN, FloatE5M2, FloatE4MEFNUZ, FloatE5M2FNUZ
as described in PR https://github.com/onnx/onnx/pull/4805. It uses CUDA
API to cast float/half to float8 if CUDA>=11.8, a custom implementation
if CUDA<11.8.
* It implements, Cast, QuantizeLinear, DequantizeLinear for all types on
CPU, only for types FloatE4M3FN, FloatE5M2 on CUDA.
* It extends the supported types for control flow operator, Shape,
Reshape, Identity, If, Loop, Scan, Reshape
* It implements Equal(19).
* Cast, QuantizeLinear, DequantizeLinear operators now support a
parameter `saturate` only valid for float 8 types. It is true by
default. In that case, any value out of range is converted into the
maximum float 8 value. If false, it is infinite.
* QuantizeLinear, DequantizeLinear now supports multiple scales on CUDA
(and ROCm by extension), scale = 1D tensor with one scale per channel
### Motivation and Context
Supports latest onnx version.

### Description
Remove NETSTANDARD1.1 moniker and NETSTD1.1 specific code. We no longer
target this platform.
### Motivation and Context
NETSTANDARD1.1 target constraints the development and the modern
libraries we would like to use in the code while it is apparently no
longer required by customers.
This PR mainly fixes building errors when trying to build nupkg for ROCm EP.
It also slighly improve the packaging logic so that devlopers can
produce the nupkg on linux natively.
### Description
This PR partially reverts changes introduced in
https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/pull/15643
We make two API return std::string always in UTF-8.
We also move the entry points from OrtApiBase to OrtApi to make them
versioned.
### Motivation and Context
`GetVersionString` always returns x.y.z numbers that are not subject to
internationalization.
`GetBuildInfoString` can hold international chars, but UTF-8 should be
fine to contain those.
We prefix them with u8"" in case the compiler default charset is not
UTF-8.
Furthermore, creating platform dependent APIs is discouraged.
`ORTCHAR_T` is platform dependent and was created for paths only.
On non-unix platforms would still produce `std::string` that can only
contain UTF-8
The API was introduced after the latest release, and can still be
adjusted.

Unit tests weren't breaking in CIs for both Windows and Linux builds and
should have been.
### Description
1. Update VERSION_NUMBER for preparing the upcoming release. This PR's
commit will not be included in the 1.15 release branch
2. Delete package/rpm/onnxruntime.spec since it was not used in past
years.

### Description
This PR creates Nuget and Android for Training.
### Motivation and Context
These packages are intended to be released in ORT 1.15 to enable
On-Device Training Scenarios.
## Packaging Story for Learning On The Edge Release
### Nuget Packages:
1. New Native package -> **Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Training** (Native
package will contain binaries for: win-x86, win-x64, win-arm, win-arm64,
linux-x64, linux-arm64, android)
2. C# bindings will be added to existing package ->
**Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Managed**
### Android Package published to Maven:
1. New package for training (full build) ->
**onnxruntime-training-android-full-aar**
### Python Package published to PyPi:
1. Python bindings and offline tooling will be added to the existing ort
training package -> **onnxruntime-training**
Symbol visibility from DllImport is inconsistent across platforms resulting in the symbol not necessarily being visible to ORT native code that tries to look it up by name.
Best solution is to use DllImport to load the library and to call the registration function directly. That requires the native SessionOptions handle and OrtApiBase struct. We could either make those public, or provide a helper where the user passes in a delegate from their DllImport. Can add when needed.
### Description
<!-- Describe your changes. -->
Disable new test that is failing on linux. Not required for this
release. Will fix in the next week.
Marshal.Prelink can be used on Windows to make the symbol available but
Linux appears to work differently.
Also need to update the pre-checkin tests so this is tested early as
it's only failing in the E2E tests run in the packaging pipeline.
### Motivation and Context
<!-- - Why is this change required? What problem does it solve?
- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
Fix packaging pipeline error.
### Description
<!-- Describe your changes. -->
Add infrastructure so it's easy for a user to add the ORT extensions
nuget package and register the custom ops for C# apps.

Need to be able to use extensions on mobile platforms with Xamarin/MAUI
The test limits GPU's running memory requirements to 20MB. It might be
enough in the past, but it seems not enough now when we upgrade CUDA to
a newer version or add more kernels/graph transformers to our code.
Therefore we need to increase it. Our test log shows sometimes the model
needs 128MB memory. So I set the limit to 256MB.
