Support for .NET Core

[rstam]

We use NSubstitute in a project that we are planning to port to .NET Core, but we are blocked by NSubstitute not supporting .NET Core.

Can support for .NET Core be added to NSubstitute?

I believe it can be and contribution is welcome A couple of links to start from devlooped/moq#168 castleproject/Core#90

There's a tool called .NET Portability Analyzer from Microsoft that gives you a report on how portable is your code. The tool can be found here, a blog post and a page in .NET Core documentation.

I ran it against NSubstitute core (no tests, no Castle.Core), included Mono because DNX uses Mono on non-Windows. The report. Seems not much work to do.

@rstam there are two approaches that add .NET Core support #193 #197. Please take a look when you have time. Probably you can use the compile library in your project already. Your feedback is welcome.

I'm starting to plan for a new project and am thinking of using .NET Core as well. I'd love to have NSubstitute support. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed enough to contribute to the port right now.

@BrianVallelunga that's great to hear. We already have a working build for .NET Core in #197. You could try it by yourself. Feedback is really welcome!
