Fix or deprecate playground-win32-packaged.sln

[jonthysell]

Problem Description

I am unable to build this solution locally, and as far as I can see, this solution has never been built as a part of CI.

I don't think we need it, can we remove it from the repo?

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open playground-win32-packaged.sln in VS
2. Build the solution.

Yes we should remove it. We never fully supported running paper in a win32 app. Now that fabric does it out of the box, there is no need for this project.

[chrisglein]

Agreed. We will deprecate.
