Why integration tests use 6.0.100 and 6.0.101 SDKs

[xperiandri]

I see integration tests use SDKs 6.0.100 and 6.0.101
@yazeedobaid @mclark1129 what should we do with that?
As these tests fail now on CI and I want to install the latest .NET 6 SDK on CI

I assumed the old versions are just because of how old the tests are, but not certain on that.

I at one point tried updating to the 6.0.300/6.0.301 SDKs in https://github.com/Numpsy/FAKE/commits/6.0.131/ and got other failures, but that was before before Paket and such were updated so maybe it was falling over those problems.

I got a successful CI build using the 6.0.30x SDK at #2794 at any rate, though I can't say if that's missing anything with regards to the intentions of the integration tests

So in general about feature bands

• The .1xx is supported until the end of a major's lifecycle.
• Additional feature bands such as .2xx .3xx .4xx are only supported specific months of that year.

So if we were trying to eliminate SDK as a source of bugs we would always need tests for the latest .1xx and the whatever is the latest of 2/3/4.
