Packaging mstest for .net core

[codito]

Description

In .net core, the dependencies are resolved from deps.json. The adapter must be referenced from a test project such that the MSTest.TestAdapter.dll is located by the test platform.

Currently, the nuget package ships with props files which copy the test adapter to output directories. It is not supported in .net core (see #6). What is the way forward?

• Ship different nuget package for each runtime
• Ship single nuget package, let the adapter be resolved from the corresponding runtime directory e.g. netcoreapp1.0 for .net core.

Thoughts?

We planned to go with option 2 - Ship a single nuget package with a netcoreapp1.0 folder. We did not want to have multiple adapters for each platform. One drawback however with this approach is that the test platform attempts to load adapters for all desktop and dotnet even though it can load only one based on the host. The desktop workflow is still the same. We only have a lib for netcoreapp1.0.

The adapter having this fix is MSTest.TestAdapter 1.1.2.
