Proj1200: Exclude private assets as project file dependency

Private assets (such as analyzers) are package references that have an effect on compiling a .NET assembly, but are not needed by the compiled artifact. By marking them in the project file as private asset it will not become a runtime dependency, that is linked to a package, or shipped when publishing it.
