* Use Visual Studio instead of Xamarin Studio.
* VS doesn't have mdtool, it has vstool.
Also there's no need to manually invoke the mdtool.exe executable anymore
(which we did because the mdtool executable had a min macOS version of 10.9,
and we used to build tests on older macOS versions [1]), since now we only run
tests on older macOS versions, we don't build those tests there.

- Before this mmp was not adding -framework, -weak_framework consistently on non-static registrar use cases
- GatherFrameworks was previously not ported from mtouch, and did not work as DeploymentTarget was unset in mmp
- Added verbose prints so users can determine why various framework linkages are added
- Fixed an issue where duplicate were being added due to HandleFramework shoving args by hand
- Tested with auto test and https://github.com/chamons/xm-version-regression-test manual test
* [XM] Change mmp defaults to static registrar and disable lldb attach in release mode
- Static registrar is now proven and can be flipped on for default on release
- LLDB attach isn't very helpful in release mode and pops up the install xcode dialog
- Relax Unified_HelloWorld_ShouldHaveNoWarnings to exclude static registrar warnings due to https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48311

Since we were previously looking for the .exe instead of the launcher, mmp
failures would come back as good and we wouldn't rebuild. What we want
to do is look for the native launcher, which we perviously were doing wrong.
Right now the logic exists in a few places, both in and outside the
linker. We recently began to use part of the linker pipeline in normal /
all builds so it's easier to share (and unify) the code now.
The real gain is to avoid copying assemblies, in particular large ones,
more than strictly needed while building.
E.g. a build including a very large 1.3GB assembly, with several
native libraries embedded, save a lot of time avoiding the rewrites
mtouch (before)
Total time: 64202 ms
mtouch (after)
Total time: 34840 ms
* Add XM support for RemoveUserResourcesSubStep
* Tests supplied by @chamons

- _CompileToNative's output in msbuild was incorrectly set to:
$(_AppBundlePath)Contents\MacOS\$(TargetFileName) when the generated
file lives at $(_AppBundlePath)Contents\MonoBundle\$(TargetFileName).
- This means we'd always try to rebuild, which can be rather time consuming.
- The XI target file is just different enough to require a seperate fix.
- On some machines/mono versions it appears that printing System.Windows.DependencyObject requires System.Xaml for some reason.
- Since the test is testing our resolution from the GAC and we don't care about the specifics, I'm just adding that reference. Which we also get from the GAC.
[XM] Add release value option to msbuild/mmp to resolve XM 4.5 assemblies from system GAC
- This option "reverts" a C7 fix that prevented resovling assemblies from the GAC, which is unsafe
- If you use this option, you need to know what you are doing. The mono BCL and the XM BCL need to be compatible
- Use strictly puts you in the no support "you get to keep the pieces if it breaks" category.
