Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add --msbuild-global-property CLI option for design-time
 project loading

Closes #1057
Closes #1475

Allow users to pass extra MSBuild global properties to the workspace
loader via a new --msbuild-global-property (alias --msbuild-prop) CLI flag.
Each value is a KEY=VALUE pair; the flag may be specified multiple times.

  fsautocomplete --msbuild-global-property Configuration=Release \
                 --msbuild-prop MyCustomProp=1

The parsed pairs are merged with the existing ProjectLoader.globalProperties
list and forwarded to both WorkspaceLoader and WorkspaceLoaderViaProjectGraph.
