Cake ADO task needs some updates

[jasells]

Task 'Cake' version 2 (Cake@2) is dependent on a Node version (6) that is end-of-life. Contact the extension owner for an updated version of the task.

Also, it does not support Cake-frosting like the Github action.

I am boot-strapping a custom build.cake file with powershell, currently to get around the latter.

Like so, prior to the Cake task in my pipeline:

$dotnetRunCmd = 'DotNetRun("' + $proj + '", "' + $buildArgs + '");';
echo $dotnetRunCmd > build.cake;

So the Cake task runs build.cake script, which launches my cake-frosting project.

You could do this with a static build.cake file, if you don't pass any custom args to your frosting build.
