This PR adds two new tools as well as a tasks project. None of these
projects produce a package and they ship as part of
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Design. For now this is a 'fat' package that
contains all of the dependencies, but we plan to strip them out in the
future.
The support for compilation at build-time will start as **off** by
default. The immediate goal here is to get this to flow through the
build so that we can test it as part of the inner loop effort. We will
enable this feature by default once we've done more thorough testing.
Since this is mostly a code dump, I plan to address blocking and minor
feedback only. If there are design issues that are non-critical, I will
open follow up items.
The next step will be to start adding more detailed tests.
This is the first step in adding support for Razor compilation at build
time. Additional steps will complete this by adding tag helper
discovery, code generation and finally a call to CsC.
I want to get this in now to get the package into the build system and
to lay down the general infrastructure for testing.

The strategy for testing here is to use checked in projects that have
everything Razor needs to compile code. We already have shims for the
APIs Razor uses by default in this repo and I'm using them in the
project.
The test infrastructure creates a temporary directory, copies the
project, and fixes up a few small things to cooperate with outputs we've
already built so that the test can use the new versions of Razor bits
built from this repo.
We can then call various MSBuild targets and verify the files on disk. I
envision tests that verify incrementalism as well as the basic E2E.
We will test the E2E in general in other places, since it's part of the
new default experience. This repo will test things at a higher level of
detail, but in slightly artifical scenarios.
This uses a feature of KoreBuild which will select PackageReference
versions based on a lineup file. This helps unify versions between repos
and helps us ensure we are consistent across multiple components.
