Kuinox.NupkgDeterministicator.MSBuild package

[BinToss]

I've been struggling to make an MSBuild target that runs after "Pack" to automatically determinize the package and symbols package and came to the realization that a MSBuild Target wrapper for a .NET CLI tool is silly. Although I've finished that Target, it is designed to Error if Kuinox.NupkgDeterministicator is not installed globally nor locally. That is inconvenient.

Kuinox.NupkgDeterministicator.MSBuild

An AfterTargets="Pack" Target so dotnet/msbuild determinizes the nupkg (and .symbols.nupkg or .snupkg if '$(IncludeSymbols)' == 'true')

This proposal may need a 'core' project of functionality common to both Kuinox.NupkgDeterministicator and Kuinox.NupkgDeterministicator.MSBuild.

The project for this package should set the little-known (and arguably poorly-implemented) `true property so the package is not included in build output and is never used as a transitive dependency. It may be more convenient for version/release management if it's put into its own repository

Target inputs

Inputs	Values/Types	Default	Usage
Deterministic	'true'/'false'/''	'true'	If true, run NupkgDeterministicator on the nupkg and snupkg (if applicable)
PackageOutputPath	string	'$(OutputPath)'	The directory in which the package was created
PackageId	string	'$(AssemblyName)'	Used to identify the nupkg and symbols package
PackageVersion	string	'$(Version)'	Used to identify the nupkg and symbols package
IncludeSymbols	'true'/'false'/''	'' (falsey)	If true, deterministicate the symbols package
SymbolPackageFormat	'symbols.nupkg'/'snupkg'	'symbols.nupkg' (legacy)	Used to identify the symbols package

None of these properties are specific to this target—they are existing properties used by Build or Pack.

Conditions/Rules

Some sanity checks are already performed by Pack and its dependency targets.

// csharp pseudocode
if (Deterministic)
{
  var nupkgFullPath = Path.Join(PackageOutputPath, $"{PackageId}.{PackageVersion}.nupkg");
  var nupkgSymFullPath = Path.Join(PackageOutputPath, $"{PackageId}.{PackageVersion}.{SymbolPackageFormat}");
  Deterministicate(nupkgFullPath)
  if (IncludeSymbols)
    Deterministicate(nupkgSymFullPath)
}

This one's a doozy. I'll help out.

I have been working on a msbuild task for another project so I have everything fresh to make this.

Well, not really ! Sure for a dotnet tool, that's not ideal, but afaik, the common recommended way is to ship the dll with the task.
