Fix DataProtection dependency target mismatch (Azure#59114)

The `Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection` 10.x package does not include
 a `net8.0` target, causing consumers of the DataProtection extension
 packages targeting `net8.0` to fall back to the `netstandard2.0` asset
 and emit dependency warnings.

 This adds a conditional package version override in central package
 management so that `Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection` resolves to
 8.0.26 when the target framework is `net8.0`, while continuing to use
 10.0.7 for all other targets.

+- Fixed a misalignment between the explicit `net8.0` target of this package and its `Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection` dependency, which does not offer a `net8.0` asset in the 10.x version. The dependency now resolves to version 8.0.26 when targeting `net8.0`, ensuring consumers receive a framework-compatible asset and eliminating the associated dependency warnings.
