Is is possible to get Server to work with net5.0?

[travis-leith]

I tried but was getting weird paket errors. I updated paket to the latest beta. It tells me that

There was a problem while setting up the environment:
-> Extracting platforms from path 'net5.0' failed, a newer Paket version might support it, otherwise please open an issue for a missing platform handler.

Looping in @theprash - we've got a prototype up and running.

@travis-leith See here (https://github.com/theprash/SAFE-template/commits/net5.0-fable3) for some changes to the template I've made for our own use. Note that it also includes Fable 3 which still hasn't been properly released yet.

The FAKE dotnet tool is tied to a particular version of paket which doesn't support .NET 5 so I've moved away from dotnet fake to dotnet fsi build.fsx. This isn't necessarily a "correct" or official approach. Just something that I've done so we can get started with .NET 5 internally.

If you want you can clone my branch and install the template from it. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

@theprash based on your comment, is it fair to say that we are waiting for a proper fable3 release and better fake/paket support for .Net 5 before we see a SAFE template released for .Net 5?
