Aspnetcore.docs: Not providing a version for Microsoft.AspNetCore.App results in a package version error

[cocowalla]

See here for a related Github issue.

It would be nice to update these docs and/or fix the problem, to stop others falling into a pit of despair after following this advice to migrate to 2.1

They're reversing course on this for 2.1.3. Let's use this issue to track the work.

@Rick-Anderson They're fixing package resolution, and there's nothing wrong with us going ahead with documenting the change now. Thoughts?

@guardrex My recommendation is to add the Version attribute back to each sample app's project file. That's the direction the product unit is headed, so we should get out ahead of it.

Yes, I was just waiting on @Rick-Anderson approval. I'll take care of this today.
