Support for .NET 8 (RC1)

Issue

When I upgrade to .NET 8 RC 1 (including Entity Framework Core), I get a MissingMethodException for System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable1<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IProperty> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IEntityType.GetProperties(). This is because it was moved to ITypeBase (parent of IEntityType). https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/blob/77a996f6403526d879e111421e40f72ad26d696b/src/EFCore/Metadata/ITypeBase.cs#L113-L114

Expectation Hope

I know that EF Core 8 is still RC, but could you check if a version of Linq2db compiled against 8 RC1 is feasible?

Exception

System.MissingMethodException : Method not found: 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IProperty> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IEntityType.GetProperties()'.

A quick and dirty experiment showed that at least SQLite and SQL Server had a handful failed tests, so no "quick" recompile.

We plan to release new version by the end of this week and include .NET 8 version too

Great!

Looks like it will take couple of days more. We currently test postgresql, mysql, sqlite and sqlserver providers and only sqlserver one works and we need time to figure out if we can find any workarounds

Thanks for the update. Take your time. I am not in a hurry at all. I am using SQL Server. So if you want me to test something tell me how I can help.
