Since .Net Core 2.0, the api sets were moved to a nuget package. Adding a package reference for "Microsoft.NETCore.Windows.ApiSets" gets the required binaries for the Win7 package.

Opening this PR for release branch. Original PR #4438

Updated by iSazonov:
Fix #3747.

dotnet is trying to resolve the vcredist dll everywhere beside the nuget package location
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\Microsoft.NETCore.Windows.ApiSets-x64\1.0.0\runtimes\win7-x64\native

After i added the package runtime.win7-x64.Microsoft.NETCore.Windows.ApiSets explicitly to
the main project, the issue was resolved.
