EntityFramework package (not core), has bad frameworkassembly values about ef6 HOT 7 CLOSED

Expected Result:
The package “EntityFramework” can be installed correctly.

This will never work for EF6 in this type of project, so the fix we can do is to make sure the package won't be listed for platforms that it doesn't support.

So I tried this before a long time ago, but I couldn't remember why it didn't work. Looking into it again, it's because we have content (for App.config). There is no way to have framework-specific content, so the package will always install on any framework no matter what restrictions we put on lib, tools, dependencies, or frameworkAssemblies.

So we can either

1. Fix the targetFramework attribute so the error goes away and it "successfully" installs (possibly with nothing in your project) on any framework.
2. Do nothing and you'll continue to get an obscure error on other frameworks.

Oh weird, I couldn't find that in the documentation. I'll give it a try.
