Description

I noticed that Apache Arrow's NuGet package has some (mostly cosmetic) areas of improvement:

• It targets .NET Standard 1.3 but not .NET Standard 2.0 as recommended by Microsoft
• Its dependencies can be removed when targeting .NET Core.
• It uses a license file but it could use an SPDX license expression.

I will submit a PR to fix all of them.
