Updating native build support

Part of the dotnet/runtime repo has been copied into this repo in order to facilitate building of native code. When needing to update the native build support, take a look at runtime-version.txt for what files should be synchronized from the dotnet/runtime repo. Synchronizing these files is currently done as a manual process. Update the version file with the new commit and file information if a new synchronization occurs.
