configure.{sh,fsx}: improve 1st time .NET run UX

1. Skip dotnet (Core) welcome message, otherwise it might be
confusing to see it pop up when calling our configure script.
2. First time `dotnet fsi` is run, it takes a while to start
(at least 20 or 30seconds on my VirtualBox VM running
Ubuntu22.04.3) so it's better if that time is spent after
printing ellipsis (...) so that it is more clear that one
needs to wait.
