### Feature description
Add support for project file extension: _.msbuildproj_
This file extension is often used in combination with _Microsoft.Build.NoTargets_ project types (https://github.com/microsoft/MSBuildSdks/tree/main/src/NoTargets) and can contain package references as well.
See e.g. https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/blob/dccbd304b11103e08b97abf4cf4bcc1499d9235a/src/NuGet.Core/NuGet.Build.Tasks/NuGet.targets#L369 for usage of this extension in official Microsoft product.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing Dependabot's NuGet support for recognized project-file extensions and its related tests. Use the linked NuGet.targets example and Microsoft.Build.NoTargets project as context; done means package references in .msbuildproj files are recognized and covered by tests.
