On opening a SDK style project sometimes a null reference exception
was logged.
This was difficult to reproduce. In the end adding a Thread.Sleep in
MSBuildProjectInstance's Dispose and Evaluate methods between where
the engine is set and the projectInstance is set was a way to make it
happen more consistently. So the problem seems to be that if a file
is generated externally when the engine is not null but the
projectInstance is null then a null reference exception would occur.
Now the projectInstance being null is handled. The file being
generated on project load was a .tmp file that would not be added
to the project.
Fixes VSTS #611795 - NRE when file externally added
