master / develop code merge (v4 is here to stay)

[jzabroski]

Hi All,
I put together the following Google Doc to track the work needed to get master and develop back in sync. The end goal of this code merge is to deprecate the develop branch and transition the project to a GitFlow model, with smaller releases and use the dual nuget package repository (AzureDevOps package repository and nuget.org package repository) to enable blue/green library deployments.

Once this is done and #1178 is done, we should be ready to easily ingest .NET 5.0 release. I am pretty confident we will be ready for .NET 5.0.

@fubar-coder @lillo42 I finished updating the spreadsheet about two weeks ago; now I just need to merge the stuff that needs merging and create v4.x.y tags.

Is there any progress on releasing v4?
