Update Assemblies to .NET Framework 4.7.2
See original GitHub issuePart of: #2599
Description of problem
As DNN approaches a migration to .NET Core all the assemblies will need to implement .NET Standard 2.0 which is not supported by .NET Framework 4.5. The .NET Standard compatibility document states that .NET Framework 4.7.2 is recommended for the best .NET Standard 2.0 compatibility.
During DNN Summit 2019 Jon Galloway of Microsoft recommended we update the platform to 4.7.2 as there aren’t many significant API changes that would cause breaking changes.
