Port PowerShell resgen template generator to C# #1344
Description
Currently our PowerShell build module has become a hard dependency to build PowerShell, as it generates the C# bindings from resource files (replacing resgen). This makes bootstrapping on platforms where we don't yet have PowerShell a pain (you have to generate the files elsewhere and bring them over).
It should be fairly straightforward to port this generation into a simple .NET Core project that our build script simply delegates to, bringing Start-PSBuild back to a convenience function (i.e. just runs a few cmake and dotnet commands).
I think this should be done sooner than later because bootstrapping on other platforms needs to be doable by the average developer.

Nope

This is blocking building on new platforms, i.e. Ubuntu 16.04

Chatted with Travis today, he said he would not have time to work on it. Assigning to myself.
