This changes removes support for the /p:RefOnly=true msbuild switch and the libs.ref and the libs.src subsets.

The former allowed to only build the reference assemblies of the sfx and/or oob libraries. This isn't possible anymore now that we remove reference source projects for libraries that don't need them anymore.

This switch was never documented and isn't used afaik.

The removal of the two libs subsets is happening for the same reason. Now that projects start removing the reference source projects, the split between and ref and src doesn't work anymore. Those subsets were listed by the subsets help description but aren't used anymore.
