GH26: Also pack KuduSync as a .Net Global Tool

[devlead]

This is a proposal on how to address #26, aware a lot is going on in this PR, but project needed some love to build as a .NET Global Tool using .NET Core CLI.
Happy to refactor or spread across multiple PRs if you like, have devided PR in a few commits.

Things added in this PR

• Convert csproj from old format to .NET SDK format
• Switch from MSBuild to dotnet build
• Switch from nuget.exe and nuspec to dotnet pack and csproj.
• External icon and license is no longer recommended for nuget packages so
  • Embedded package icon
  • Switched to license expression
• Switche copy right to .NET Foundation (don't think Outercurve Foundation is a thing anymore?)
• Versioning seems to have been done manually before, switched to based on git height using Nerdbank.GitVersioning
• For deterministic builds added SourceLink
• Update CommandLineParser to latest which is compatible with .NET Core (2.8.0)
• Update System.IO.Abstraction to latest compatible with .NET 4.5 (7.1.10) and latest compatible with .NET Core (12.0.4)
• Removed unsused references
• Refactored code to work with new dependencies
  • I.e. both CommandLineParser and System.IO.Abstraction had breaking changes going back serveral versions.
  • CommandLineParser now autmatically prints usage so KuduSyncOptions.GetUsage no longer needed.
• Tests
  • Added .NET Core integration tests
  • Updated test dependencies, i.e. really old and security flawed version of mocha was used.
  • Have not added posix tests yet, just adapted the existing CMD file.
• Build code with GitHub action (could be wrong but didn't notice any CI in repo)
  • Don't think it will run in this repo until merged, but you can see it in action in my fork at: https://github.com/devlead/KuduSync.NET/actions/

• Added .NET 6 TFM
• Build with .NET 6 SDK

@hitchhiker @davidebbo @ankitkumarr @Shazwazza @snobu @ahmelsayed it is great that @devlead has been able to provide this PR to add .Net Global Tool support. Is this something that is desired for this project?

I have been using KuduSync for a while now in my build orchestration, and it has been great! Having the ability to run it as a .Net Global Tool really would be the icing on the cake. Thanks!

@hitchhiker @davidebbo @ankitkumarr @Shazwazza @snobu @ahmelsayed @suwatch I wanted to follow up with this...

Is the work in this PR something that you are interested in proceeding with? I understand that you might not be in a position to review it right now, but even a comment here to provide some input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry all I haven't used this project specifically for years so don't think I can be much help at the moment. All the best!
