We mistakenly broke this project in commit ab48982d, as an SDK style
fsharp project will not auto glob .fs files when compling.
Fix the project by compiling `ResourceTypeProvider.fs` again, however
this will only work for Classic Xamarin.Android projects.
There are [non-trivial issues][0] that prevent `ResourceTypeProvider.fs`
from running on .NET Core (CodeDom compiling, AppDomain usage, etc).
These are not worth fixing at this time, as an alternate solution has
been provided in https://github.com/fabulousfx/FSharp.Android.Resource.

Trying to build an F# project under .NET 5 fails with:
error FS3053 : The type provider 'Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider' reported an error : The type provider constructor has thrown an exception: Could not load file or assembly 'System.CodeDom, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'. The system cannot find the file specified.
We need this library to target `netstandard2.0`, so it will work on
.NET framework, Mono, and .NET Core (.NET 5+). I reworked
`Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider.fsproj` to be
`netstandard2.0`.
This created a new issue when I tried to *use* the package in a .NET 5
project:
Foo.Android.fsproj : error NU1202: Package Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider 1.0.0.29 is not compatible with net5.0 (net5.0). Package Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider 1.0.0.29 supports:
Foo.Android.fsproj : error NU1202: - monoandroid81 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.1)
Foo.Android.fsproj : error NU1202: - netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0)
.NET 5.0 seems to prefer `netstandard2.0` over `monoandroid81`, and so
it doesn't know what to do here: hence the error.
I literally, could run this command on the package and it works afterward:
zip -d Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider.1.0.0.29.nupkg lib/netstandard2.0/Xamarin.Android.Fsharp.ResourceProvider.dll
The fix is to use the `.nuspec` instead of the `.fsproj`:
-nuget pack Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider.fsproj
+nuget pack Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider.nuspec
I also made some changes to the Xamarin.Android project (just general
cleanup):
* Migrate from `packages.config` to `@(PackageReference)`
* We can rely on `/restore` now in the build definition.
`restoreNugetPackages` is deprecated, so we shouldn't use it.
* Removed an `<Import/>` that was unused.

and https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/issues/4456
Bump to 1.0.0.22
We also need code such as the following adding to the NUnit template and
possibly others.
```fs
namespace fsandroidnunit
// the name of the type here needs to match the name inside the ResourceDesigner attribute
type Resources = fsandroidnunit.Resource
[<assembly: Android.Runtime.ResourceDesigner("fsandroidnunit.Resources", IsApplication=true)>]
()
```
