Add MSBuild test-related properties #42404

| The `IsTestProject` property signifies that a project is a test project. When this property is set to `true`, validation to check if the project references a self-contained executable is disabled. That's because test projects have an `OutputType` of `Exe` but usually call APIs in a referenced executable rather than trying to run. In addition, if a project references a project where `IsTestProject` is set to `true`, the test project isn't validated as an executable reference. |

Does this property do anything else?

I am wondering if it would make sense to group the properties by platform:
- VSTest
- Microsoft.Testing.Platform
to make it easy to understand which properties are available in which mode.
I am fine with current setup, I am just trying to put myself in the shoes of someone with basic knowledge in testing "internals".

This property is mainly needed for dotnet test scenario and has no impact when using vstest.console.exe. @nohwnd Could you please confirm and give some more details?

Sorry for the delay in reviewing, I was off for a week.
