Include FSharp.Core in the offline package directory

[0x53A]

(ref #2575 (comment))

Many templates in VS2017 now include nuget packages. To also enable offline scenarios, VS 2017 includes a few select packages.

Maybe not surprisingly, this does include Microsoft.CSharp, but not FSharp.Core.

It would be great, if the templates included FSharp.Core as a nuget, and if this nuget was added to the offline directory.

This seems like a good idea

@brettfo What do you think?

@KevinRansom Since we now use the FSharp.Core package for all templates, what are your thoughts on this for dev16?

This is pretty low priority, but I was reminded of it and got curious

I did a test:

• I downloaded the latest .NET 6 sdk: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-6.0.100-preview.7-windows-x64-installer
• I started a new windows sandbox, disconnected internet and installed the sdk
• I ran dotnet new console -lang f#

==> it failed at restore

@KevinRansom is this done now, thanks to your work including FSharp.Core in the SDK?
