Pull request overview
This PR implements an automatic TargetFramework setting feature that addresses issue #29949, which requested enabling projects to use the SDK's bundled target framework when none is explicitly specified. The change allows developers to skip specifying a TargetFramework property in their project files, with the SDK automatically defaulting to the bundled TFM.
Changes:
- Adds automatic TargetFramework property setting in Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets when both TargetFramework and TargetFrameworks properties are not set
- Introduces an opt-out mechanism via the AutomaticallySetTargetFrameworkIfUnset property
- Sets TargetFramework to BundledNETCoreAppTargetFramework (the SDK's bundled target framework moniker)

Fixes #29949
Automatically set the TargetFramework property if not set, to the SDK bundled target framework. Provide an opt-out property if needed.
I double checked that nothing reads from TargetFramework before that file is imported.
