Updated dotnet/MEVD.slnx — now contains only Chroma and Milvus.
Honestly, I'd remove these. IIRC they're pre-MEVD providers (so the old v1 vector store API), not maintained and unsupported. If we ever do want to redo a Chroma/Milvus provider we'd probably start from scratch anyway.

Motivation and Context
All .NET MEVD vector store providers have been migrated to the CommunityToolkit/AI repository. This removes the now-redundant source code and tests from this repo and leaves discoverable redirects in their place.
Description
Removed source + tests for 12 providers (Chroma and Milvus kept unchanged):
Added
README.mdin each removed provider directory pointing to the new upstream location (or explaining Pinecone deprecation).Removed all associated test projects including the shared
VectorData.ConformanceTestsinfrastructure (no remaining consumers after provider removal).Updated
