Unable to build Docs as Fornax needs dotnet3

[groma84]

I was unable to build the Docs, first with the devcontainer where only dotnet5 is installed, because it requires an installed dotnet3 sdk.

Afterwards when trying it locally with an installed dotnet3 sdk

λ dotnet --list-sdks
3.1.408 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
5.0.201 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

also results in errors:

λ dotnet fake build -t Docs
...

I think we need an updated dotnet5 compatible version of the Fornax tool?

Yes, I need to release a new version of Fornax for .NET 5 support.

The Fornax is now updated, no? I just downloaded the code there and the global.json states that the required version is the 5.0.102.

Fornax is updated but need publishing, should happen soon: https://github.com/ionide/Fornax/issues/77

Once that is done I'll update things on this end
