.NET 4.5.1 test runs fail with "EXEC : warning : No test is available"

Since xUnit published RC1 bits, many .NET 4.5.1 test runs have started to fail with the above error. Such runs do not execute any tests. This reduces our test coverage across the repos. For example, MVC has dropped from running 6968 tests to just 3638,

Moving our xUnit dependencies back to 2.2.0-beta5-build3474 seems to work in the Performance repo. But, that's not the right fix. Should instead adjust EntityFramework, Performance , and Testing to whatever has changed in xUnit. Start with Testing because other repos use its xUnit extensions.

Self-assigning

Not 💯% sure but it appears xUnit has dropped .NET 4.5.1 support. Filed xunit/xunit#1102 in hopes this was unintended.

.NET 4.5.1 is obsolete and unsupported by Microsoft. .NET 4.5.2 is the minimum version with support. Your unit tests need to be for .NET 4.5.2 but they can still reference .NET 4.5 libraries (as per normal referencing rules).

@bricelam

Time to update all test projects to executing using .NET 4.5.2 instead of 4.5.1. Because it's not clear whether anything else will need to change, follow the checklist below:

BuildTools
Microsoft.Data.Sqlite
PlatformAbstractions
Common
Testing
JsonPatch
FileSystem
DependencyInjection
Configuration
EventNotification
Options
Logging
DotNetTools
HtmlAbstractions
HttpAbstractions
Caching
Razor
Hosting
DataProtection
EntityFramework (thanx @bricelam!)
HttpSysServer
KestrelHttpServer
BrowserLink
EntityFramework.Tools
Antiforgery
BasicMiddleware
Scaffolding
IISIntegration
AzureIntegration
ServerTests
ResponseCaching
Session
CORS
Routing
StaticFiles
Proxy
Diagnostics
Security
Localization
WebSockets
Mvc
MetaPackages
MvcPrecompilation
Identity
SignalR
Entropy
MusicStore
~~RazorTooling~~ (no longer in use)
Setup (if this is still in use)
benchmarks
Performance

I've been meaning to make the following change anyways...as long as you are updating all test projects, can we make this change too?

Any project that targets:

<TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp1.1;net4XY</TargetFrameworks>

should change to

<TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp1.1;net4XY</TargetFrameworks>
<TargetFrameworks Condition="'$(OS)'  != 'Windows_NT'">netcoreapp1.1</TargetFrameworks>

This will mean only .NET Core compiles and tests on Linux. cref aspnet/KoreBuild#160

Bump test projects up to .NET 4.5.2
