Add .NET 3.5 Targets

[Washi1337]

Problem Description

There has been some demand for .NET 3.5 targets. In particular, use cases include:

• Dynamic analysis / deobfuscation of binaries targeting .NET 3.5
• Game mods that target games running Unity targeting .NET 3.5 Mono.

Currently, AsmResolver's is compatible with .NET standard 2.0 or higher. This means it requires at the very least .NET 4.6.1. We therefore miss out on all usecases that require an older version.

Proposal

Add a .NET 3.5 build target.

This is not as trivial as it may seem, due to the following incompatibilities that AsmResolver currently depends on:

• System.Threading.Concurrent. See .NET 3.5 via MonoMod.Backports #540
• System.Text.Json. See Replace System.Text.Json dependency in AsmResolver.DotNet with internal light-weight JSON parser #450
• System.ValueTuple. See .NET 3.5 via MonoMod.Backports #540
• System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles. See MemoryMappedFile for .NET Framework 3.5 #544

These will have to be polyfilled or shims have to be written.

Alternatives

As 3.5 is ancient technology, we could opt for not supporting .NET 3.5. However, unfortunately, Microsoft has declared .NET 3.5 is supported until at least Jan 2029 (source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/microsoft-net-framework). Furthermore, bringing .NET 3.5 to the game modding community can significantly increase the surface area where AsmResolver could be used.

Additional Context

• Manually implementing all backports for System.ValueTuple and System.Threading.Concurrent seems to be much more work than initially expected. We may want to consider going with MonoMod.Backports.

• System.Text.Json is covered. Enough embeddable libraries exist that can (compiler conditionally) replace it (see Replace System.Text.Json with SimpleJSON for older build targets #538).

• For System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles, we probably will need carve it out .NET itself, or write our own wrapper around the native APIs that facilitate this, as MonoMod.Backports does not cover this.
