Incorporating recent nuget features into the NuGet Package template

[kimsagro1]

Recently Claire Novotny, the PM on the NuGet team at Microsoft posted a video talking about some recent nuget features such as

• Package validation
• The DotNet.ReproducibleBuilds package

I thought these could be potentially introduced to the NuGet Package template

I saw that talk and have followed up with questions about DotNet.ReproducibleBuilds as its not well documented.

• Discussion: Change default DebugType to embedded for .NET Core 3 dotnet/sdk#2679 (comment)

I'm not sure it uses the best defaults but agree that we should switch over to it.

Package validation is a cool feature. The downside right now is that you have to pass it the previous version number for it to compare to. Ideally, it'd do that for you. I have a GitHub issue for that somewhere.

I found the relevant issue. Until this is implemented, I package validation requires a lot of work to build into the cake file.

• [Package Validation] Add an opt-in feature to automatically calculate the package to download for API comparison dotnet/sdk#25268

FYI: DotNet.ReproducibleBuilds was added to the template.
