Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues

### Current Behavior

1. Compile the C++ with `make test-msvc`
2. Run the unit tests in Visual Studio (under the debug configuration)

Expected: Unit tests should pass
Actual: `System.DllNotFoundException : Unable to load DLL 'electionguard': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)`

### Expected Behavior

The problem is that `make test-msvc` generates `electionguard.dll` in the release configuration and `ElectionGuard.Encryption.Tests.csproj` is looking for it in the folder based on its active configuration. In other words `ElectionGuard.Encryption.Tests.csproj` conflates it's own configuration setting with that of the C++ electionguard library.
