Add support for dotnet SDK fallback folder - #3242
Merged

Conversation
The dotnet SDK ships with various .NET Core and ASP.NET Core nuget packages in a NuGetFallbackFolder. This changes to try to find packages in that folder before looking in other caches or downloading from source. In the event the package is found here, the contents are copied or linked directly from that folder instead of the user's cache.

I'm just using it to find the folder, it's not executed. I guess the alternative is to try the default folder depending on platform.

Paket resolves a few packages with higher versions than the ones that ship, so this doesn't eliminate all downloads, but it makes a very significant dent. A before/after when starting with an empty cache for a project referencing

We could go further: I'd guess this won't work when e.g. FAKE does a local install of the dotnet SDK as that folder won't be on the path. It seems that there's an MSBuild property available during restore (as I mentioned in #2827 (comment)) that we could pass to
paket.exewhen called inPaket.Restore.targets.Fixes #2827
