Use a Github Project for expecto->netcore

There is now a Github project here: https://github.com/haf/expecto/projects/1. I think we should try to use it for the netcore support. I’ve never used a Github project before, so I could be totally wrong. It seems like I don’t currently have permissions though, hence this issue is being raised.

There are some remaining tasks that aren’t easy to manage or track now. There have a been some PRs that were far too big (#101, #123). Some non-trivial tasks are being requested by way of comments in the already huge PRs. The status was requested by a few people.

There is a branch now: https://github.com/haf/expecto/tree/netcore

Major tasks are (taken from #101):

• make CI builds include donet restore && dotnet build for Expecto.netcore
• connect AppVeyor to build on PRs
• merge the dotnet packed netstandard1.6 package into the main nupkg
• make CI builds run tests against netstandard1.6 DLL
  • FSharpx.Core is not available on netstandard - consider removing it from tests?
  • make Tests.fs only use netstandard1.6 compatible reflection APIs
• ~do we need old reflection APIs (e.g. <=net40)… do we really need net40 support?~
  • YES - moved to net45 now
  • make Expecto.fs only use netstandard1.6 compatible reflection APIs
  • make Expect.fs only use netstandard1.6 compatible reflection APIs
• ~determine what to do with Mono.Cecil.Rocks (doesn’t exist on netstandard1.6?)~
  • Use Mono.Cecil 0.10.0-beta2
• Mono.Cecil 0.10.0-beta2 is a semver-prerelease. We cannot release a stable Expecto until it is released stable.

(other tasks I may have forgotten?)
