Feature reques - build-wide pre- and post- step

[rainersigwald]

• Add ability to add pre- and post- build targets on solution metaproj (though - this might not work in VS, this would not work for builds initiated not through the solution, transfering information via ItemGroups would need to be investigated - as this will need info from other projects).

This is possible with solution imports. It does have all the caveats you describe.

See for example the solution-level NuGet restore stuff:

1. Gets imported to solution metaprojects through https://github.com/dotnet/NuGet.BuildTasks/blob/4caf040c5a74b633c2260d7a8744737a93942a84/src/Microsoft.NuGet.Build.Tasks/ImportBeforeAfter/Microsoft.NuGet.Solution.ImportAfter.targets
2. Does special solution-y things via checks on this condition https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/blob/4020570fd78096035b551a5ac0869ca995f4dbed/src/NuGet.Core/NuGet.Build.Tasks/NuGet.targets#L55

@JanKrivanek does it resolve the issue?
