Microsoft.NET.Sdk.IL nuget packages is broken

[ViktorHofer]

The latest available version of the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.IL package on nuget.org is broken as it tries to resolve runtime ilasm/ildasm packages with a version of 6.0.0 which doesn't exist until we ship.

There are different options how to fix this:

• Generate the targets file which contains the hardcoded version dynamically and embed the product version in it. We do this in couple other places and it's fairly easy to implement.
• Change how the Sdk.IL meta package references dependencies. Today the SDK is resolved via the nuget sdk resolver in a first restore phase and then latter in the overall nuget restore phase the dependent RID specific IL package is downloaded as it's listed as a PackageReference by the IL SDK. There are alternatives to that which could be considered i.e. FrameworkPackages or merging the runtime packages which only contain the native ilasm/ildasm into the IL SDK meta package.

TODO: Discuss if we wanna continue shipping the package on nuget.org.

This package is very useful for implementing low-level tests for profilers.

@infra team, please decide on the best option between the two and implement it. JIT team does not have preference.
