C# project generated as .NET Framework 4.7.2 project?

[Clonkex]

Godot version

3.5.stable.mono.official [991bb6a]

System information

Windows 10, GLES3

Issue description

The documentation says C# support is implemented using Mono 6.x with full support for C# 8.0. However, when I create a new C# script the resulting auto-generated Visual Studio project is set up for .NET Framework 4.7.2. I don't understand why this is and I'm not sure how to get around it.

Am I missing something? I'm fairly new to Godot but not new to C#. I want my C# 8.0 features! 🙂

Steps to reproduce

• Create a new Godot project
• Set the external editor to Visual Studio
• Create a new C# script
• Open the generated Visual Studio solution. The project will be a .NET Framework project configured for .NET 4.7.2.

While some C# 8.0 language features are supported, full C# 8.0 support won't be available in Godot 3.x. It'll only come in 4.0 thanks to the move to .NET 6.
