Support for building .NET Core 2.1.4 SDK

[tmds]

I don't know if there is already some support to build this.

@dotnet/source-build-contrib

• Port dev/release/2.0 to master
• repo owners port their patch removal from 2.0 servicing to their master (2.1 branch).
• update the master SHA to masters of submodule repos

We have started working on this by getting all our changes into the master branches. Once I get all those changes into our core repo's I'm going to update source-build master branch to pull in those master/2.1 branches.

AFAIK @tmds filed this to track staying up to date with dotnet/designs#18. But it looks like #259 is already tracking that. Is there anything special we need to track here? @tmds can we close this?

[tmds]

Looks like @dleeapho and myself created an issue about this at about the same time.
Perhaps we can track our ability to build 2.1 here? WDYT @omajid ?

[dleeapho]

I decided to close #259 and track the work here.

[omajid]

@tmds I was going to say that since Dan and his team are doing the work, they should get to choose which bug they want to use to track this :)

Looks like @dleeapho was kind enough to switch to this one. Thanks, @dleeapho !

#268 is the first step of moving all the core repo's to master pointers for supporting a 2.1 build.

Hey folks, any updates on having a source-build release for the 2.1 sdk?

@omajid once the submodule repos branch for 2.1 we'll be updating source-build.

@dleeapho Hey. Sorry if it was not clear, but I was asking about a release that corresponds to the 2.1 SDK (not runtime). I see 2.1.2 as released already here, so I suppose the repositories must have branched already?

Edit: Is this the wrong issue for the 2.1 SDK? Is that tracked elsewhere?

[tmds]

I have updated the title to better indicate this issue tracks support for building the 2.1.4 SDK. That is: the SDK that uses .NET Core Runtime 2.0 and adds C# 7.2 support.

I think when we version this in Linux packages, we want to use the new versioning scheme already (dotnet/designs#29). So I think it makes sense to version this 2.0.104 (see dotnet/designs#29 (comment)).

I created a separate issue to track support for the new 2.1 runtime and its associated SDK: #315.

Cleanup old issue.
