migrate-mstest-v1v2-to-v3
Migrate MSTest v1/v2 projects to MSTest v3, and fix v1/v2-to-v3 breaking changes that surface after the packages are already at 3.x. USE FOR: removing v1 Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework assembly references; moving MSTest.TestFramework/TestAdapter 1.x-2.x to 3.x, the MSTest metapackage, or MSTest.Sdk; tests that broke after a 2.x-to-3.x bump -- CS0411/CS1503 on Assert.AreEqual/AreNotEqual/AreSame once the object overloads became generic, and DataRow strict type matching (1L vs 1) that builds with MSTEST0014 but fails at run time; .testsettings/LegacySettings to .runsettings (DeploymentEnabled, per-test MSTest TestTimeout); v3 timeout behavior; TFMs v3 dropped (net5.0, .NET Fx below 4.6.2, netstandard1.0). Applies even when the project already references MSTest 3.x, if a v1/v2-era setting or error remains. Keeps the current runner. DO NOT USE FOR: MSTest v4 (use migrate-mstest-v3-to-v4 next), clean v3 projects with no v1/v2 leftovers, other test frameworks, or VSTes
