- Localization culture is set from multiple threads on the server, so use current local context for every new call instead of global context
- Change locale before executing help commands if flag is present
- When force-locale is set, also change locale for log messages
Closes#4176
This updates all projects to target .NET Framework 4.7.1. The
TencentCOS and Tardigrade backends depend on .NET Standard 2.0. When a
.NET Framework prior to 4.7.1 is targeted, the system cannot be sure
that all the dependencies exist, so it copies all dependent assemblies
to the output directory. This causes many assemblies from the System
namespace to become bundled in the release.

We had previously attempted to make individual projects target 4.7.1
(see pull request #4242), but this can cause compatibility issues when
4.6.2 projects depend on 4.7.1. projects.
This will require Mono 5.10.0 or greater (previously, we required 5.0.0
or greater).

This fixes issue #4234.
- no code changes except those noted below
- projects upgrade to 4.6.2
- wixinstaller project upgraded automatically by VisualStudio
- wixinstaller updated to require 4.6.2
- Library.Encryption changed to Standard2.0 so accommodate update to SharpAesCrypt
Using strong-named assemblies can cause difficulties with the GNU LGPL
license, which allows for one to recombine or relink their application
with modified versions of the code. While one solution is to share the
private key so that people can sign the assemblies themselves, this
would break the trust that is expected from signed assemblies. For now,
the easiest fix is to simply not sign the assemblies. Note that by
doing so, we prevent the code from being referenced from other signed
assemblies.
This also fixes an issue introduced in revision ba94d36a80 ("Added
auto-update for WindowsService and Service."), where the WindowsService
project (signed) referenced the AutoUpdater project (not signed).
We also removed instances of <SignAssembly>false</SignAssembly> to be
consistent with newly created .csproj files that do not contain the
SignAssembly element.
This was motivated by the discussion in issue #2814.
InvariantCulture is useful when comparing / sorting human language strings in a culturely correct way. It handles things like accented letters in a way that makes sense to humans (e.g., 'a' should be sorted next to 'á', rather than after 'z').
Ordinal looks just at the raw code points of the characters. As such, it is recommended for use in cases when comparing system strings (file paths, command line parameters, config settings, etc.). Since it doesn't need to use the culture specific sorting rules, this method can often be faster.
