Issue Description

After upgrade Reqnroll from version 1.0.1 to 2.0.0 method marked with BeforeTestRun attribute is run only on .net6.0 .net7.0 .net8.0 in multitarget integration test project - in .net 4.6.2 till 4.8.1 it is not executed at all which cause all tests dependant on that initialization to fail

Steps to Reproduce

please clone repo https://github.com/AdaskoTheBeAsT/WkHtmlToX
run all integration tests

modify file located in .\test\integ\Directory.Build.props (in repo under this link https://github.com/AdaskoTheBeAsT/WkHtmlToX/blob/master/test/integ/Directory.Build.props) with content

<PackageReference Include="Reqnroll" Version="2.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Reqnroll.Tools.MsBuild.Generation" Version="2.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Reqnroll.xUnit" Version="2.0.0" />

rebuild
run all integ tests
only tests for .net 6.0 till .net 8.0 will run successfully

Reqnroll registers itself as an xUnit test framework:

[assembly: global::Xunit.TestFramework("Reqnroll.xUnit.ReqnrollPlugin.XunitTestFrameworkWithAssemblyFixture", "Reqnroll.xUnit.ReqnrollPlugin")]

But when xUnit tries to load the type (Assembly.GetType) it fails (returns null) and the registered Reqnroll test framework is not used (and so the BeforeTestRun is not called).

Note: Trying to load the type with Assembly.GetTypes() throws a ReflectionTypeLoadException with a LoaderException stating that xunit.execution.dotnet can't be loaded.

This is probably related to the change to netstandard2.0 and an xUnit restriction described in the following discussion https://github.com/xunit/xunit/discussions/2576. 😢
