Description
We should have an SDK that uses the Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools.MSIX NuGet package to create MSIX packages. The SDK should include Project Properties for things like start up project, external location, and more.
In particular this would need to support:
- Bundling multiple projects into one package
- Packages with no Applications
- Packages with External Location
Extras could include setting various Appx Manifest properties from the project file itself or merging Appx Manifest Fragments from the dependent projects

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools.MSIX NuGet package and the linked project-system property-pages documentation. Define the SDK scope around bundling multiple projects, packages without Applications, and External Location support. Done means these scenarios work, with manifest-property and fragment-merging extras treated separately.
