In newer versions of .NET (6 or later), Mono.Runtime does not exist even if the runtime is Mono. Mono.RuntimeStructs is one of the types which is existed both older and newer Mono.

In newer versions of .NET (6 or later), Mono runtime is still used for some targets like mobile OSes, rather than CoreCLR.
However, currently,
Mono.Runtimeclass does not exist in latest Mono-flavoredSystem.Private.CoreLiblibrary.This causes the problem of
MonoProtection(introduced by #1035) not being enabled unintentionally.The bug in Mono that is the cause of introducing
MonoProtectionis not fixed yet soMonoProtectionis still needed.Mono.RuntimeStructsis one of the types which exist in both the older Mono and newer Mono.So this pullreq modifies to use this type to determine the current runtime rather than
Mono.Runtime.Other projects like BenchmarkDotnet also uses
Mono.RuntimeStructsto make decisions.
