While putting together #20, it became painfully clear that the existing build system needs some serious upgrades.

There are a few major issues with the build system today:

It relies on Psake, which is either no longer supported or at least has very strong opinions on MSBuild selection that don't work with modern .NET SDK setups
It only runs on Windows
It relies on both Appveyer (Windows) and Travis (Linux) that are connected in a very unconventional (and confusing) way

The limitations above were deemed acceptable in order to continue supporting PowerShell 3.0, but I don't think that's necessary anymore.

The proposal for the new build system:

Update libraries to target netstandard-2.0 and [email protected]
Remove PSake and replace it with an MSBuild-based approach (TODO: How will the Pester tests work?)
Port CI to GitHub Actions and run on Windows + Linux (+ macOS?)

Completed everything except the CI integration. Will leave this issue open until I get to the GH Actions bit.
