Allow setting MSBuild target via MSBuildSettings using a string

Currently when calling the MSBuild alias with an MSBuildSettings, we need to set the target using the WithTarget extension method.

MSBuild("./my-app.sln", new MSBuildSettings
{
    Configuration = "Release",
    ToolVersion = MSBuildToolVersion.VS2019,
}.WithTarget("Build")); // <<<###

It would be nice if we could use a property, with a string, which would make it more natural when using properties for everything else:

MSBuild("./my-app.sln", new MSBuildSettings
{
    Target = "Build",  // <<<###
    Configuration = "Release",
    ToolVersion = MSBuildToolVersion.VS2019,
});

This property should also understand semicolons as separator for multiple targets and call Targets.Add accordingly.

MSBuild("./my-app.sln", new MSBuildSettings
{
    Target = "Clean;Build",  // <<<###
    Configuration = "Release",
    ToolVersion = MSBuildToolVersion.VS2019,
});

@MariaSolOs It’s exactly what the error message says. Your documentation comments have trailing spaces on them that should be removed.
