Web.config migration should not include ASPNET-specific settings #298

ASP.NET MVC projects have a set of ASPNET-specific appsettings. These shouldn't be needed in ASP.NET Core and shouldn't be automatically migrated to the appsettings.json file. Without looking too deep I see the following appsettings that should be ignored when migrating the app settings.

aspnet:*
webpages:*
ClientValidationEnabled
UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled

There may be more.

Also applies to the nested web.config in the Views folder

I also found these which have likely been legacy already for MVC5

    <add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=memory;deleteAfterServicing=true" />
    <add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />
