Cross-referenced docs/core/tools/dotnet-test-vstest.md against the microsoft/vstest /docs directory and fixed outdated/incomplete content: - Corrected the --filter property table (filter.md): xUnit uses Traits (not Category); NUnit adds TestCategory and Property; added a note on how traits/properties/categories map to filters. - Documented the --diag tracelevel sub-option and its allowed values (diagnose.md). - Documented TestRunParameters command-line support (since .NET 5 SDK) and RunSettings precedence (RunSettingsArguments.md). - Updated the RunSettingsArguments link from the archived Microsoft/vstest-docs repo to microsoft/vstest.

Fold complementary changes from #2 into this PR: --diag tracelevel sub-option, TestRunParameters command-line support with RunSettings precedence, corrected filter property table (xUnit Traits, NUnit TestCategory/Category/Property) with a trait/property mapping note, and the RunSettingsArguments repo link fix.

Closing in favor of #1, which now folds in these VSTest cross-reference fixes (--diag tracelevel, TestRunParameters command-line support with RunSettings precedence, corrected filter property table with trait/property mapping note, and the RunSettingsArguments link fix) alongside the existing enrichment changes. |

Thorough cross-reference of
docs/core/tools/dotnet-test-vstest.md(the VSTest content ofdotnet-test.md) against the microsoft/vstest/docsdirectory (main @f48a80f2c). Went option-by-option and fixed outdated/incomplete information.Content source breakdown
