2.0.0 Release

[nblumhardt]

This is a major update, rebooting the project:

• Removed the Windows installer
• Removed the WPF-based setup wizard
• Removed the file-based import command - seqcli does this better
• Renamed the executable to seqfwd, since setup is now via the command-line, and we'll type this a lot
• Ported to .NET Core 3.1
• Replaced NancyFX with ASP.NET Core
• Added support for macOS and Linux
• Set up zip/gzip release publishing
• Added support for compact log event format (CLEF), aka compact: true
• Added support for SSL certificate binding on Windows
• Added support for sending internal diagnostics to a secondary Seq instance
• Removed event payload fragments from the ingestion log unless opted-in

Edit: - for anyone keen to try out the new version: https://github.com/datalust/seq-forwarder/releases/tag/v2.0.97-pre

Whats the status on this PR?

[nblumhardt]

@xantari thanks for the nudge. I've just reviewed the open issue list and I don't think there's much if anything left to go.

Have you been able to try the latest 2.0.101 build from CI? It's at: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/datalust/seq-forwarder/builds/35649516/artifacts

Would be great to know how you've gone with it, if so.

If anyone following can give a +1 vote of confidence in 2.0.101, the feedback would be appreciated. We'll press the button on this release as soon as we have some data.

I'll see if I can get it installed on a few boxes next week

Ping! Has anyone had a shot at updating to the 2.0.0-dev versions? We'll hit the button on this next week, time to move the release forward :-)
