[.NETCore][Research] research MSBuild Tasks for .NET Core MSBuild

[SabotageAndi]

Our Generate task also needs to run in the .NET Core MSBuild version.
The current base class AppDomainIsolatedTask is not in .NET Standard/Core.

We need to research how this is now done.

@dasMulli can help us perhaps? Do you know something about this?

[@]AArnott has good isolated task samples at https://github.com/AArnott/Nerdbank.MSBuildExtension/tree/master/src/Nerdbank.MSBuildExtension making use of AssemblyLoadContext on core

oh and current best practice is multi-targeting the tasks to net*;netcoreapp2.0 - not netstandard, because the published output of netstandard may not be runnable (no conflict resolution / trimming needed for loading into netcoreapp)

I found a blogpost how to write such task: http://www.natemcmaster.com/blog/2017/07/05/msbuild-task-in-nuget/

As discussed offline, a sample project file that packs the publish-output (to include all dependency dlls) is dotnet/sdk#1846 (comment)

research is done. MSBuild Task is implemented
