Add ReferenceTrimmer to enable detection of unnecessary project, package, and assembly references during build. Remove all unused references identified by ReferenceTrimmer.

Disclosure: I own ReferenceTrimmer, but I do think it will be helpful to this repo, as evidenced by the unused references it was able to identify. Adding it to the repo will help keep the references clean.

Interesting tool, thanks. I'm a little cautious of additional build-tools, but since I also own DapperAOT and a bunch of other build-time tools, it is probably hypocritical for me to get too paranoid about that! I've poked it a bit to deal with merge-conflicts, update to latest, etc, but if it goes green: great! appreciated
