Description
Research and implement if its possible to determine OS for .NET file; these should all be PEs so my best guess without further research is focusing on statically detecting the CLR
Maybe start with exploring [TargetFrameworkAttribute](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.versioning.targetframeworkattribute?view=net-7.0)?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by researching whether PE files can statically reveal their target operating system through CLR metadata, including the TargetFrameworkAttribute mentioned in the issue. Determine a reliable detection approach and define what OS-identification results would count as complete before locating the appropriate capa implementation and tests.
