Update .NET & FSharp.Core Version

[1eyewonder]

Wanted to try to take a whack at this one which was mentioned in the Discord channel. I went ahead and updated the net core version up to 8 as well as updated FSharp.Core. I'm hoping this takes a bite of the elephant so I can go ahead and attempt at getting #4250 back on track

@forki I have a question on the ci/cd pipeline. I was looking through recent PRs which were merged and it looks like the tests were cancelled. I however have running tests with some failures. Should I treat this as I need to do more updates to get the tests passing or is this a separate issue related to the tests? I just want to make sure I'm not introducing any errors with these changes 😄

Looks to me like some of the those tests are already failing in cases where the pipeline doesn't hang/timeout - https://ci.appveyor.com/project/paket/paket/builds/50550293 (#4273 )

[Numpsy]

Anyway, it looks to me like the fcs can type check test is hanging with an error of the sort described in #4102 and this PR and the Chessie one both unstick it somehow (updated or removed dependencies I guess)

Removing some old deps in #4273 also unstuck it, though the test then failed in .NET Core (actually, I'm not sure what the direct Microsoft.Win32.Registry dependency is for - I don't immediately see any Registry access in the project)

Any chance to get this in a release soon? We have a problem with long path, which is solved when we switch to .net 8.0
