Description

This would likely live under Build/General in the new property pages. I propose a simple checkbox:

- [ ] Generate MSBuild Binary Log on build

It could have the `?` icon pointing to [troubleshooting docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/msbuild-logs?view=vs-2019) and have some descriptive text, like:

"Generates an MSBuild Binary Log (binlog) on build, a file that contains detailed diagnostic information about your build. It is helpful for diagnosing problems."
