EntityFrameworkCore.Jet provider is stated as .NET Framework-only but in fact it supports .NET Core 2.0+ #3717

EntityFrameworkCore.Jet provider:

The provider is .NET Standard 2.0 compatible, so it can be used with .NET (Core) 2.0+ and .NET Framework 4.6.1+. The major version corresponds to the major version of EF Core (i.e. EFCore.Jet 3.x is compatible with EF Core 3.y).

But docs page states that:

3 The SQL Server Compact and Jet providers only work on .NET Framework (not on .NET Core).

Correct that please. Only SQL Server Compact provider works on .NET Framework for today.

Looking at the database providers section in the EF6->EF Core page, we may just want to remove it. At this point, all databases that were supported in EF6 are also supported in EF Core, and I'm not sure somewhat migration from EF6 to EF Core is interested in the fact that Cosmos/In-Memory are supported in EF Core (they never were in EF6). We could just include a link to the EF Core providers page instead.
