Validate localized authentication resources in Abstractions builds

[paulmedynski]

Description

Parameterize localization validation and activate it for Abstractions in official package builds.

• Require explicit resource-directory and allowlist-section inputs in the shared step.
• Preserve the driver's existing allowlist and add an independent Abstractions section.
• Validate Abstractions resources before analysis/compilation, alongside the existing driver gate.
• Test parameter selection, missing-section rejection and actual pipeline invocation contracts.
• Preserve newer upstream translations; do not carry obsolete pipeline churn.

Layer 5 of 6 in the seven-PR phase-one authentication stack.

Testing

• pwsh -NoProfile -Command 'Import-Module Pester -MinimumVersion 5.0; $c = New-PesterConfiguration; $c.Run.Path = @("./eng/pipelines/onebranch/scripts/tests/validate-localization.Tests.ps1", "./eng/pipelines/onebranch/scripts/tests/pipeline-invocation.Tests.ps1"); $c.Run.Exit = $true; $c.Output.Verbosity = "Minimal"; Invoke-Pester -Configuration $c' — passed, 43 tests. Six new checks failed as expected before implementation.
• pwsh -NoProfile -File eng/pipelines/onebranch/scripts/validate-localization.ps1 -ResourcesDirectory src/Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.Extensions/Abstractions/src/Resources -AllowlistPath .config/LocalizationValidationAllowlist.json -AllowlistSection AbstractionsAllowedEnglishValueMatches — passed, 13 cultures, 5 keys, no English-value exceptions.
• pwsh -NoProfile -File eng/pipelines/onebranch/scripts/validate-localization.ps1 -ResourcesDirectory src/Microsoft.Data.SqlClient/src/Resources -AllowlistPath .config/LocalizationValidationAllowlist.json — failed with 13 pre-existing findings: ADP_IsolationLevelResetTimeout is untranslated in all 13 cultures.
  • Verified the same 13 failures using the original validator, resources and allowlist in the untouched main worktree at 332e17fe76c8fe7c5ed0de0e77835ca8223f7c7d.
  • No unrelated translations were changed and the existing gate was not weakened.
• git diff --check — passed.

Official pipeline execution was not triggered.
