Description
Support for .NET standard and .NET framework was dropped when Pidgin went from v2.5.0 to v3.0.0
Due to Microsoft dropping .NET 6 support soon and .NET 7+ only being supported on windows 10+, I am in the process of backporting my libraries and applications to .NET standard 2.0 and .NET framework. I tried to downgrade Pidgin to v2.5.0, but got many build errors from breaking changes in this library, so it would be nice if v3 could be updated to support .NET standard again.

Research direction
Start by inspecting Pidgin v3's project configuration and reproducing a build targeting .NET Standard 2.0, then compare the compatibility errors with v2.5.0. Done means the v3 library supports .NET Standard 2.0 without regressing its existing behavior.
