/// If a NuGet package is installed into a .NET Core project then all .NET Core projects that
/// reference this project need to have their reference information updated. This allows the
/// assemblies from the NuGet package to be made available to the other projects since .NET
/// Core projects support transitive references. This method calls NotifyModified for each
/// project that references it, as well as for the project itself, passing the hint 'References'
/// which will cause the type system to refresh its reference information, which will be taken
/// from MSBuild.
///
/// All projects that reference .NET Core projects will have their references refreshed. If a
/// .NET Framework project (non SDK), has PackageReferences and references a .NET Standard project
/// (SDK project) then NuGet dependencies from the .NET Standard project are available to the
/// .NET Framework project transitively without needing the NuGet package to be installed into
/// the .NET Framework project. So refreshing the references of any project that references a
/// .NET Core project will ensure assemblies from NuGet packages are available after installing
/// a new NuGet package into the referenced project.
