0aa8c5f changed the behavior of `GenerateBindingRedirects` to always touch its output file, to prevent false-negative up-to-date checks on subsequent incremental builds. However, this causes breaks in customer scenarios: 1. Build, generate a `.exe.config` and copy it to the output directory. 2. Run the app, do some operation that modifies the .exe.config. 3. Make some change and rebuild the app. The .exe.config in the output directory is overwritten with the "fresh" copy generated by this run. A long-term fix is tracked by #9337 but for the short term we can revert to the pre-17.7 behavior.
