Add IsPackable=false to test project templates

See original GitHub issue

Hi.

At present, running dotnet pack on a solution with test projects often generates unnecessary warnings when packing test projects. Given that there’s no point in packing test projects, how about adding:

<IsPackable>false</IsPackable>

to the test project templates.

That way, they’ll be ignored when running dotnet pack. If you guys are ok with this idea, I could open a PR - it’s probably as simple as adding a single line to 4 files.

@motowilliams this change wouldn’t prevent doing that, but would opt out of doing so by default. I’m curious as to which is the more common case, as that’s the direction we’d want to take for the templates.

Yes, it should be overridable by user.
