[Feture] Let CLI extract package version from the project.

These days project file contains properties which relates to Nu-Get packaging. Among those properties there is <Version> element.

In most cases of CI/CD we need to increment minor part or add some other suffix to the version. Hence, it would be nice if dotnet pack could return the value of <Version> element for further transformation.

ex: Project contains <Version>1.2</Version> and dotnet pack --get-package-version returns 1.2, so I can simply add .$CI_PIPELINE_IID to get the version of the package for packing and publishing.

I gave a sample of how to do this on the StackOverflow question.

@voroninp MSBuild also has access to environment variables, so if paket doesn’t support passing custom properties you could do something like $(CI_PIPELINE_IID) in your msbuild logic to read that environment variable.
