[petrroll]

Fixes Issue #109446

Description

Special cases most common (IMHO by super vast majority) case of IOtionsMonitor for default options name, i.e. "". Most importantly changes .CurrentValue access from concurentdictionary read to a field access.

Customer Impact

Small perf.

Regression

No.

Testing

I'll add tests if it's deamed feasible and worthy of being merged.

Risk

Substentially increases complexity of originally super simple class. The complecity is still very limited and IMHO perfectly managable but it went from super duper simple to somewhat simple.

Package authoring no longer needed in .NET 9

IMPORTANT: Starting with .NET 9, you no longer need to edit a NuGet package's csproj to enable building and bump the version.
Keep in mind that we still need package authoring in .NET 8 and older versions.

Could it be reopened @huoyaoyuan ? I'd still be fully up for merging it :)

The bar for .NET 10 is now quite high—similar to the servicing bar. Let’s wait until the main branch opens for the next release, and then we can reopen and merge. This should happen in a few weeks from now. Thanks!
