Allow choosing the Target Framework.

Issue Description

As a user who has to target multiple Target Framework versions, I would like to be able to choose the specific framework Omnisharp should use. This functionality is homologous to this Visual Studio feature:

This will allow macro’s like #if NETSTANDARD and #if NETFRAMEWORK to work correctly and provide intellisense in those areas.

When trying to use VS Code for the development of https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet I get a ton of errors like:

Assembly 'OpenTelemetry.Api' with identity 'OpenTelemetry.Api, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7bd6737fe5b67e3c' uses 'System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource, Version=5.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource' with identity 'System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' [OpenTelemetry.Tests]

I guess that this is because the assemblies inside the System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource NuGet package have different versions for different targets. net45 and net46 have version 5.0.0.1 while the others (net5, netstandard1.1 and netstandard1.3) have 5.0.0.0. My understanding is that VSCode C# extension uses net452 for OpenTelemetry.Api and netcoreapp2.1 for OpenTelemetry.Tests as TargetFrameworks (because of https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/1783).

Having the ability to choose a platform could help I guess. It should basically help in any project which targets multiple frameworks.

In full support of this thread. It’s the 1+ VS has over Code. Can’t imagine how much time I lost over the years to reorder target framework first, restart Omnisharp, and wait for the service to boot up.
