Add skeleton dotnet project structure (#49)

* Add skeleton dotnet project structure

* Fix casing in import statement.

* Moving tests folder to be a sibling of src.

* Update tests to use directory.builds.props and only build necessary frameworks.

* Move more test props to directory.build.props

* Add AotCompatible flag and .net 8.0

* Rename Tests to UnitTests

* Add global.json file

* Update publish mapping for unit tests to debug, to reduce build times.
