…5851) Right now C++/WinRT apps have a hard time consuming C# WinRT libraries from source. We fixed this in our SampleAppCpp in order to load SampleLibraryCS, but those fixes were not put into the template for the benefit of all apps. This PR moves the fix into new `CppAppConsumeCSharpModule.(props|targets)` files. Since the fix involves importing a ton of other props/targets, and we don't want to risk breaking existing C++ apps who have no need of consuming C#-based native modules, the changes are behind a new property `ConsumeCSharpModules`. So if you have a C++/WinRT RNW app (the default) and need to consume C# native module, you can set `<ConsumeCSharpModules>true</ConsumeCSharpModules>` in your app project. This PR also fixes up the template solution files to include the projects they were missing. Closes microsoft#5825 Closes microsoft#4557
