F1 context doesn't include TargetFrameworkMoniker #5574

Description

@terrajobst

When invoking help in the code editor, the current target framework isn't correctly forwarded.

In a .NET Framework 4.5 (old-CSPROJ) invoking F1 on Console.WriteLine yields this URL:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.console.writeline?f1url=https%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fquery%2Fdev16.query%3FappId%3DDev16IDEF1%26l%3DEN-US%26k%3Dk(System.Console.WriteLine);k(TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework,Version%3Dv4.5);k(DevLang-csharp)%26rd%3Dtrue&view=netframework-4.8

Invoking F1 in an SDK-style projects yields this URL:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.console.writeline?f1url=https%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fquery%2Fdev16.query%3FappId%3DDev16IDEF1%26l%3DEN-US%26k%3Dk(System.Console.WriteLine);k(DevLang-csharp)%26rd%3Dtrue&view=netframework-4.8

Notice how k(TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework,Version%3Dv4.5); is missing from the query string.

Currently, there is also a bug where the docs ignore the TargetFrameworkMoniker keyword: dotnet/docfx#5183, so we should coordinate the change with them. The end-to-end we're going for is that the help filter on the landing page matches the current target framework. In a multi-targeted project, we probably want to honor whatever is currently selected in the top left drop down (i.e. the IntelliSense context).
