Using `osx-x86` as dummy runtime for the reference assembly sets the `PlatformTarget` (PE machine header) of the reference assembly to `x86`, causing warning like CS8012 Prefer `AnyCPU` instead by not setting any RID

Many thanks @AnthonyLloyd ! Do you reckon there is going to be a new release soon? |

I’ve noticed that referencing MKL.NET causes warning CS8012 for consumers because the reference assembly has architecture x86 instead of msil (AnyCPU), which will not match. (That warning is not documented, but it’s in the Roslyn source code)
This is due to the runtime identifier (we use
osx-x86as a dummy for the reference assembly build) also setting thePlatformTarget.In this PR I introduce an MSBuild property to control the reference assembly build instead. If that property is set the runtime identifier will be empty and the output will be one folder higher in the hierarchy.
Before the change: x86 (= PE header machine I386 with CorFlags 32BitRequried)
After: msil (= PE header machine I386 but CorFlags 32BitRequired unset)
