Mono support

Mono GACs the old `xbuild` assemblies but not the new MSBuild 15 ones, so applications running on Mono have the same load-the-right-MSBuild-assembly problems as on full framework, exacerbated since there's...

Consider respecting MSBUILD_EXE_PATH

2

MSBuild internally changes behavior if `MSBUILD_EXE_PATH` is set; we should consider proactively changing the located MSBuild if we see it and it would break upon loading the one we would...

Use HelpLink for errors/warnings that already have a URL

12

We have several errors/warnings that have a URL in the text of the message. After #5488 (thanks, @jmezac!) we'll have a structured way to represent this that will eventually (https://github.com/dotnet/project-system/issues/6335)...

Log helper methods should support a custom string interpolation handler

C# 10 supports [string interpolation handlers](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/tutorials/interpolated-string-handler) that enable efficient behavior with calls like (from their examples): ```c# logger.LogMessage(LogLevel.Trace, $"Trace Level.
