support portable pdb files

See original GitHub issue

Portable pdb files are designed specifically for .NET. The spec is now 1.0 and an implementation ships with Roslyn for Visual Studio 2015 Update 1. The new format is cross platform and several times smaller, making it practical to include in the nupkgs #294. This should take care of the CoreCLR status issue of Enable CoreCLR debugging of F#.

Microsoft.DiaSymReader.PortablePdb exists to provide compatibility to the existing Windows debugging tools that build on top of that COM API.

I am advocating that the old PDB support be dropped to makes things simpler and easier to maintain.
