.NET 3.1 Support On Windows

When using Pact on Windows for .NET 3.1, it fails to work (even with long path support enabled). As mentioned in #242 already, I have tried upgrading the sample application and tests to .NET 3.1 and they fail.

Here’s one of the stack traces after upgrading the tests to .NET 3.1:

X Consumer.Tests.EventsApiConsumerTests.CreateEvent_WhenCalledWithEvent_Succeeds [1ms]

I think the issue isn’t long path support on Windows but rather the Ruby runtime used by Pact, hence why shallow directory paths work. Sadly this isn’t possible for all projects.

Working fine for me on 3.1, just had to move my code to a shallow directory.
