Migrations

[natemcmaster]

Our getting started guides mentions migrations and shows how to add one, but we have a dedicated section to document the rest of what is possible with migrations.

Some specific things to cover in addition to a general overview

• Overview of how migrations works, something like the content at the start of EF6.x Migrations in Team Environments
• how to use --startup-project (Show how to use --startup-project #294)
• Multiple projects and migrations (Multiple projects and migrations #43)
• Custom Migrations history table (Add Custom Migrations History Table in EF Core #371)
• IDbContextFactory
• Custom Migrations Operations
• Using IMigrator (Add a note to Migrations docs on how to access IMigrator #518)

Agreed, this is on my list under a "Database Schema Management" section I'm going to write 😄

Note to documenter, we also wanted to reference this from the Enable-Migrations command.

Turns out there's already some pretty good docs at https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/data/ef-mvc/migrations

Could you write tutorial how to use migrations together with VSTS Build & Release.
