Linux (and containers) support

The SkiaSharp library needs extra dependencies to work on Linux and containers. Please install the following NuGet packages:

PM> Install-Package SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies
PM> Install-Package HarfBuzzSharp.NativeAssets.Linux

You also need to modify your .csproj file to include some MSBuild directives that ensure the required files are in a good place. These extra steps are normally not required but seems to be some issues on how .NET loads them.
