Visual Studio 2019, BizTalk 2020 #3

Ref this question at MSDN, how can we use BizTalk Software Factory with BizTalk 2020, which requires Visual Studio 2019?

I've just spent an hour looking into what's needed, and it seems like there are dependencies to GAX and GAT, which can't be installed for VS2019. The GitHub repo for GAX is now under an organization called microsoftarchive, and the best progress I've found is this unmerged pull request: https://github.com/microsoftarchive/OpenGAX/pull/6

I've tried building the VS2017 source branch for that PR, but it fails, and I don't want to spend more time on this.

A colleague found this alternative to create multi-project templates for VS2019. We haven't tested it yet. Will update if/when we do. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/how-to-create-multi-project-templates?view=vs-2019

It will eventually miss the dialog box of Software Factory and create all project types every time.
