Adding a SdkNugetVersion property when invoking dotnet pack on test packages so that test packages can reference exact packages. We need that because of NuGet/Home#4063. Without it, pack creates the nuspec with a version like 1.0.0-version-, instead of 1.0.0-version-<version_used_in_build>, which leads to problems when restoring the tool. Like, it ends up restoring to the closest version of the package (oldest), instead of the latest.
