Description
### Steps to reproduce
create console app project c#,
create library project (unit tests)
reference console project in library project
try to build projects one by one using command line msbuild, i.e.:
```
msbuild /m /nologo /restore /t:build /p:Configuration=Release /p:BuildProjectReferences=false /p:OutDir="..\bin\Release" Application\Application.csproj
```
```
msbuild /m /nologo /restore /t:build /p:Configuration=Release /p:BuildProjectReferences=false /p:OutDir="..\bin\Release" ApplicationTests\ApplicationTests.csproj
```
The second will fail because of error:
```
CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'bin\Release\Application.dll' could not be found [ApplicationTests\ApplicationTests.csproj]
```
It looks that when **/p:BuildProjectReferences=false** is used, ResolveAssemblyReference assumes the referenced project assembly is .dll
The output from RAR step:
```
>ResolveAssemblyReferences:
Primary reference "Application".
Could not find dependent files. Expected file "bin\Release\Application.dll" does not exist.
Could not find dependent files. Expected file "bin\Release\Application.dll" does not exist.
