Description

Ignite.NET should target .NET Standard so it is available on maximum number of platforms, see
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/09/26/introducing-net-standard/
https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2016/Nov/23/NET-Standard-20-Making-Sense-of-NET-Again
https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/roadmap.md

Make sure that all used APIs are supported on all platforms, see API Analyzer tool:

This will allow us to run on Windows, OSX, and Linux, and target .NET Core in additional to good old regular .NET.

Possible difficulties:

• JNI interop. Core has dllImport and it works on linux, and our C++ client works on linux, so it should be possible
• Reflection. We use it a lot, and API has changed.
