Update csproj to latest format and target netstandard1.0 and PCL (portable-net45+win8+wp8)

[Mark-RSK]

I have updated all nuget references and included the latest Xamarin.Forms that has a netstandard target. To allow the project to build correctly for netstandard and use the inbuilt nuget packing in VS2017 I have moved the IOC files into the main project.

I have tested bringing in the compiled nuget into both a netstandard and PCL XF core project and both function correctly.

Your thoughts on the implementation would be much appreciated as I have attempted this as a way of learning the new csproj structure

#160

For a working netstandard Xamarin Forms template the following link has a great explanation, and also a repo with the template included.

I think the line count reduction of ~11,000 lines speaks to Oren's idea that .NET Standard reduces "gunk".

@Mark-RSK I came here because I need FreshMVVM to work with Rx.NET with .NET standards 1.6 support.
The project is changed to 1.4 to make it compatible with Xamarin Forms UWP.

[JimSEOW]

[FreshMVVm + ReactiveUI ]+ ReactiveExtension

[Mark-RSK]

@JimSEOW I have updated the project to use the PackageTargetFallback attribute in the csproj so the stable release of Xamarin Forms is used. I have also removed the PCL output of the library as this caused issues in Visual Studio Mac

[JimSEOW]

@Mark-RSK

The FreshMVVM.Tests complains!
Error NU1202 Package Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost 15.0.0 is not compatible with netstandard1.4 (.NETStandard,Version=v1.4). Package Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost 15.0.0 supports:

• net45 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5)
• netstandard1.5 (.NETStandard,Version=v1.5)

[JimSEOW]

@Mark-RSK Why I have to keep the FreshMVVM to .NET standard 1.0 and not 1.4 (causing errors in TinyIoC.cs)

However, now that It compiles, I can NOW start combining ReactiveUI and ReactiveExtension to target UWP .net standard 1.4 (so that when UWP is .NET standard 2.0 compliance, we would have learn many issues before then).

[Mark-RSK]

@JimSEOW It seems TinyIoC hasn't been updated in a while and the ifdefs were incorrect for net standard 1.4. I have updated the ifdef's to include 1.3 & 1.4 and it now all compiles.

I apologise for the earlier checkin that failed to build. I had changed the csproj type of the test project from netstandard to net461 on my master branch but hadn't made the change in this branch.

I am waiting for this! Nice work :)

[JimSEOW]

@Mark-RSK thanks.

[JimSEOW]

@Mark-RSK These are the failed tests

[Mark-RSK]

@JimSEOW I've fixed the failing tests. Not sure the tests would have passed on the original master branch. I am unable to build the original master to check

[Mark-RSK]

Building the original branch in VS2015 and running the tests, the same tests fail

I'll take a look at integrating this asap. I'm away from computer for the next week but I can take a look at this on return. Thanks

Without wishing to be rude/pushy, is there any progress on merging this PR? Thanks :-)

[rid00z]

@daveclarke @Mark-RSK @jfversluis Apologies for the slow reply, we've upgrade to .NET Standard already but there's a few nice commits/ideas in here that I will take a look at.
