NuGet packages produced by this repo did not embed the repository's
LICENSE.txt, leaving consumers without license metadata in the package.Changes
PackageLicenseFileproperty inDirectory.Build.props, pointing toLICENSE.txtPackitem group alongsideicon.pngandREADME.md, so it's embedded in every package's rootSince these properties live in
Directory.Build.props, the fix applies uniformly to all projects in the repo without per-project changes.
