VS: Disable ReferenceOutputAssembly for projects with no output

Vedran Vujinovic requested to merge vedranv/cmake:referenceoutputassembly_native_dlls into master

Our logic that sets ReferenceOutputAssembly in ProjectReference has accumulated a series of conditions for different cases in which the referenced target has no output. Simplify the condition to check GetManagedType directly for cases with no output.

Disable ReferenceOutputAssembly for projects with no output. This will explicitly turn off ReferenceOutputAssembly in ProjectReference for special (i.e. ZERO_CHECK) and utility (i.e. add_custom_target) targets, while referencing all the targets that produce output.

Added test to verify the content of generated UWP app package.

Fixes: #19665 (closed)
Topic-rename: vs-ReferenceOutputAssembly-conditions
