Fixes for MSBuild task: (#444)

- Parameter validation no longer fails on valid params
- Fixed props fle path to LottieGen dll
- Fixed path generation for LottieGen exe
- Converted parameter types which are not supported by MSBuild to acceptable types
- Added escaping to command-line args to avoid mangling file paths
