To make build & test easier, tests should target a lower dotnet version

The tests currently target netcoreapp3.1. I'd like to lower that requirement to netcoreapp2.1.

The benefit of this would be that the entire solution would then build successfully using an .NET Core 2.1 SDK, rather than requiring a 3.1 SDK.

Closing as WONTFIX. It appears that targeting netcoreapp2.1 causes a number of problems and test failures. The cost of fixing these is not worth the benefit of lowering the bar for building the app. .NET Core 3.1 is an old/mature version which has already been superseded. It's not an unreasonable requirement.
