ignore unknown project references.

Assume you have the following in your msbuild file:

  <Import Project="includes.targets" />
  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="@(ProjectReferenceImports)" />
  </ItemGroup>

and in includes.targets:

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReferenceImports Include="..\MyProject\MyProject.$(CustomBuildName).csproj">
      <Project>{337804c8-9420-4e2d-a918-a62ac2f84555}</Project>
      <Name>MyProject.$(CustomBuildName)</Name>
    </ProjectReferenceImports>
  </ItemGroup>

While Visual Studio and msbuild will work fine with this FAKE will throw an exception like:

Ignoring such references seems to work fine in my case.

Thanks for making a very fast release 👍 .
