Provide migration tool to move from packages.config project to packagereference #5488

@rrelyea

Description

@rrelyea

Some users would prefer to use VS2017's support for PackageReference, instead of the default Packages.config.

We've provided a way, in tools/options/nuget -- to choose what to use in a new project.
However, many people would like to migrate existing projects as well.

This issue is tracking our future work item to make that migration easier.

Note -- not all packages are compatible with PackageReference, so migration may not work for some projects/packages. See #4942
