Description

Parent issue: #700

Tracks the work needed to implement Update in item groups inside targets (dynamic items). Update in itemgroups not inside targets is tracked in #733.

Unfortunately, MSBuild has a completely separate model for interpreting properties and items at execution time. Therefore Update needs to be implemented there as well.

Design so far:

``` xml



// or Update="*.designer.cs"
MetadataValue


```
- Behaviour:
- For all ProjectItems
- That have Type=Compile and EvaluatedInclude="Foo.cs"
- AddOrUpdate Metadakey=MetadataValue
