@grendello was hitting a problem building Xamarin.Android on Linux,
every project would fail saying PackDotNet does not exist:

$ make pack-dotnet
...
java-runtime.csproj : error MSB4057: The target "PackDotNet" does not exist in the project.

Reading the docs for Before.*.sln.targets:

When MSBuild builds a solution file, it first translates it
internally into a project file and then builds that. The generated
project file imports before.{solutionname}.sln.targets before
defining any targets...

before. is all lowercase... Renaming the file fixed the build on Linux.

@grendello was hitting a problem building Xamarin.Android on Linux,
every project would fail saying `PackDotNet` does not exist:

    $ make pack-dotnet
    ...
    java-runtime.csproj : error MSB4057: The target "PackDotNet" does not exist in the project.

`before.` is all lowercase... Renaming the file fixed the build on Linux.

Renaming the file to use `before` and not `Before` fixes the build
on Linux.

Automatic importing of `before*.targets` and `after*.targets` files is
case sensitive on Linux, and only lowercase files will work.
