Make it possible to build only the inbox portion of libs

[MichalStrehovsky]

build.cmd libs will build all libraries, but most people working in this repo only want what's inbox in .NET.

I have a:

    <ProjectExclusions Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Microsoft.Extensions.*\src\*.csproj" />

line in my libraries\src.proj and this speeds up the libraries build by 15%, but it would be nice to be able to easily exclude the rest of the useless libraries and get additional boost.

EDIT: I just realized the above is a cargo cult I've been doing and apparently doesn't work (anymore?).

With little amount of work this should be easy to implement. We just need a better separation between inbox and OOB by changing the current ref.proj and src.proj projects to:

• sfx.proj (anything inside the shared framework, builds both the reference and the source assembly)
• oob.proj (anything outside the shared framework, builds both the reference and the source assembly)
• shims.proj (build the netstandard and the netframework shims. The netframework shims depend on OOBs as well)

The current libs.ref and libs.src subsets would be removed and the following would be added:

• libs.sfx
• libs.oob
• libs.shims

This should also help with the issue that @jkoritzinsky worked around in the recent SDK upgrade: #60256 (comment). The tricky part is to make sure that the PlatformManifest can be generated without the CLR being built (for libraries dev's innerloop).

Duping this to #65492.

Sorry @MichalStrehovsky I forgot about this issue. Thanks for duping it against the one that I just opened. This will be implemented with #64000, then you can just build the sfx by invoking build.cmd/sh libs.sfx.

I don't mind there's a new issue with more detail, and doubly so because there's also a pull request to go along with it. Opening issues is easy, pull requests are hard. Thank you for working on this! I owe you a drink!
