NuGet Package Improvements

Changes to modernize the NuGet packages published by the DNN Platform, fixes dnnsoftware#2586. The below-submitted changes in structure have been validated by consultation with the DNN Platform Community, Microsoft Representatives, as well as validation of documentation per the published .nuspec file definition (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/nuspec) In detail, the following items have been changed: * Migration of license information to the suggested <license> node rather than the deprecated <licenseurl> node. * Inclusion of target framework for all included .dll files, this prevents installation of the package to pre-4.5 projects protecting downstream users. * Improved package descriptions based on discussions held in the RFC regarding these improvements * Added Package-to-Package dependencies to ensure quick usage and inclusion * Updated the WebAPI and MVC packages to be holistic packages, including references to ALL needed items to develop using those patterns. All changes are current for DNN Platform version 9.3.0 or later. Packages have been built & tested locally with success. ## Suggested Usage With these improved packages, development & references should be easier. ### MVC Modules `Install-Package DotNetNuke.Web.Mvc` Should be the only needed package installation. It will install all needed dependencies, including the items necessary for WebAPI ### Modules Needing WebAPI (Not MVC) `Install-Package DotNetNuke.WebApi` Should be the only needed package for extensions not using MVC, however, needing to use WebApi for services. This will work well for WebForms or Library projects, etc. that don't need the extra references for MVC/Razor ### WebForms/Limited Modules `Install-Package DotNetNuke.Core` The most simple modules, still using the WebForms pattern can use this package for the smallest footprint For dnnsoftware#2600
