Workaround for missing .deps files

[snebjorn]

Hi, I think it would be a good idea to add a section about fixing missing deps files in the setup guide.

If you're running your tests from another project than the web project you'll need to add this to the test project's .csproj file.

<!--
  Work around https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/4412. MVC uses DependencyContext.Load() which looks next to a .dll
  for a .deps.json. Information isn't available elsewhere. Need the .deps.json file for all web site applications.
-->
<Target Name="CopyDepsFiles" AfterTargets="Build" Condition="'$(TargetFramework)'!=''">
  <ItemGroup>
    <DepsFilePaths Include="$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension('%(_ResolvedProjectReferencePaths.FullPath)', '.deps.json'))" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <Copy SourceFiles="%(DepsFilePaths.FullPath)" DestinationFolder="$(OutputPath)" Condition="Exists('%(DepsFilePaths.FullPath)')" />
</Target>

And if you're using xUnit you'll need to add this as well

<ItemGroup>
  <None Include="xunit.runner.json" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" />
</ItemGroup>

And a xunit.runner.json file

{
  "shadowCopy": false
}

It's a bug that is hopefully getting fixed. NuGet/Home#4412

You are perfectly right! I plan to move the documentation to the wiki section and add more tips like this one ;)
