What are you seeing?

When specifying the Verbosity property on the DotNetMsbuildSettings class the dotnet msbuild tool outputs an error:

MSBUILD : error MSB1016: Specify the verbosity level.
Full command line: 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\8.0.404\MSBuild.dll -maxcpucount -verbosity:m test.proj --verbosity detailed -distributedlogger:Microsoft.DotNet.Tools.MSBuild.MSBuildLogger,C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\8.0.404\dotnet.dll*Microsoft.DotNet.Tools.MSBuild.MSBuildForwardingLogger,C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\8.0.404\dotnet.dll'

What is expected?

The dotnet msbuild command should not include the --verbosity detailed that is included with most of the other DotNet* aliases.

Steps to Reproduce

test.proj

<Project xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003'>
  <Target Name="Echo">
    <Message Importance="high" Text="High Message" />
    <Message Importance="normal" Text="Normal Message" />
    <Message Importance="low" Text="Low Message" />
  </Target>
</Project>

Program.cs

using Cake.Common.Tools.DotNet;
using Cake.Common.Tools.DotNet.MSBuild;
using Cake.Core;
using Cake.Frosting;

public static class Program
{
    public static int Main(string[] args)
    {
        return new CakeHost()
            .Run(args);
    }
}

[TaskName("Hello")]
public sealed class HelloTask : FrostingTask
{
	public override void Run(ICakeContext context)
	{
		context.DotNetMSBuild("test.proj", new DotNetMSBuildSettings()
		{
			Verbosity = DotNetVerbosity.Detailed
		});
	}
}

build.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <RunWorkingDirectory>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)</RunWorkingDirectory>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Cake.Frosting" Version="5.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Then run:

dotnet run --project .\build.csproj --target Hello
