Update to .Net 5

[ChrisJollyAU]

The main code compiles and runs. I've used some simple select and update statements and it seems to be fine.

The test projects still need a lot of work

Addresses #98

@ChrisJollyAU Awesome! I'll review it over the weekend, so we can merge it next week.
(Just ping me if I should forget to merge it for some reason.)

@lauxjpn Will there be a merge?

[lauxjpn]

@Edivad99 Thanks for pinging me! I was about half way done checking the PR. I will do the second half this week and then merge it.

[lauxjpn]

I did a couple of minor changes, added some code paths back that were removed but are needed etc.

I will upgrade the tests next.

Hello @lauxjpn, do you have a release date for the .Net 5 compatibility ?

Hi, any news about the .NET5 update?

[lauxjpn]

Not yet, but we could merge it as "work-in-progress", so you could start using/testing it.

I pushed PomeloFoundation/Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql#1533 to Pomelo yesterday, that we should heavily use in our test suite here to automatically skip tests that are not supported due to missing features in Jet/ACE.

This might help us with not needing to manually annotate thousands of tests for skipping that are never going to succeed against Jet/ACE.

Hello there! How can I obtaion some test build with EF Core 5 (or even EF Core 6) support? Thank you.

[lauxjpn]

I have scheduled time on Sunday to fix the tests and merge this.

@ChrisJollyAU Thank you for your contribution!

@lauxjpn I've created an issue to track EF Core 6 progress.
I suppose that "interesting stack traces" that @ChrisJollyAU is talking about is the result of my testing of his test builds from here.
Anyway - good luck to you guys, looking forrward for getting EF Core 5 and 6 support soon.

We will first release support for EF Core 5, before we make any official advances towards EF Core 6.
