Pull request overview
This PR removes the remaining legacy netfx/netcore split-project infrastructure and related build/packaging targets, and updates test/tool projects to use the unified repo layout and default bin/obj outputs.
Changes:
- Deletes obsolete MSBuild targets/props used by the historical netfx/netcore split (contract/not-supported/doc-trim/package-gen, etc.).
- Updates test and tool
.csprojfiles to reference dependencies via$(RepoRoot)and to use default output/intermediate paths. - Simplifies
build.proj/OneBranch Roslyn-analyzer integration by removing legacy/default target assumptions.

Nothing better than waking up to a PR that deletes 3000+ lines of obsolete code!

Looks ok to me. We can revisit the API compatibility target later and get it better integrated.

Description
This PR will hopefully bring the separate codebases chapter of SqlClient history to a close. This PR cleans up the old separate projects and all the remaining cruft that was part of it.

Testing
Local testing suggests this will pass. There's a lot of things intertwined with the directory.build.props and build.proj files so I expect some hiccups. But theoretically it should be easy.
