Description

As explained in IGNITE-2662 and https://apacheignite-net.readme.io/v2.4/docs/cross-platform-support, our projects/assemblies still target .NET 4.0.

This simplifies build/release procedures, but has issues:

• Ignite.NET can't be used from .NET Standard 2.0 libraries (big one)
• Warning is displayed
• Incompatible API usages may sneak in despite tests

We should target netstandard2.0 as well as .NET 4. Release package should contain two set of assemblies.
