Allow generator plugins to target .net 6.0

I have to maintain a SpecFlow generator plugin to handle custom attributes. Targeting .NET Framework 4.7.1 and .NET Core 2.1 as described in the docs is somehow confusing and raises problems. This circumstances forces the usage of outdated msbuild tasks over more recent dotnet tasks. Besides that, unnecessary target framework conflicts are introduced. Please allow SpecFlow generator plugins to target .net 6.0.

  SpecFlow supports Visual Studio 2017 which uses .NET Core 2.1 or .NET Framework 4.7.1 for running MSBuild. As the generator plugins are loaded from our MSBuild task, they have to be in .NET Core 2.1.

  I will try to update the documentation in the next days to make this more clear.
