Created new configuration-option assembly-file-versioning-scheme: It has the same possible options as assembly-versioning-scheme and it is used for generating the AssamblyFileVersion just in the same matter as the AssemblyVersion.

Since the AssemblyVersion is used for referencing and AssemblyLoading and AssemblyFileVersion is just a representation of the version / build of the assembly, we can now configure both independent.
Default setting is MajorMinorPatch for both options.
