Migrate to .slnx solution format exclusively (#793)
## Overview
This PR migrates the repository from the traditional `.sln` format to
the modern `.slnx` solution file format exclusively, removing the legacy
`.sln` file to avoid CI/CD conflicts.
## Changes
- Generated `EssentialCSharp.Web.slnx` using `dotnet sln migrate`
command
- Removed the traditional `EssentialCSharp.Web.sln` file to prevent
"multiple solution files" errors in CI
- Updated Dockerfile to reference `.slnx` instead of `.sln`
## Why This Change?
The `.slnx` format is the modern solution file format introduced in
recent .NET SDK versions. It provides:
- **Cleaner format**: 19 lines vs 63 lines (846 bytes vs 3.8KB)
- **Better readability**: Human-friendly XML structure
- **Forward compatibility**: Prepares the repository for future .NET
tooling that may prefer or require this format
- **CI/CD compatibility**: Having only one solution file prevents
ambiguity errors when dotnet commands don't specify which solution to
use
By using only the `.slnx` format, we eliminate the MSB1011 error that
occurred when multiple solution files were present in the same
directory.
## Verification
The .slnx solution file has been verified to work correctly:
- ✅ `dotnet restore` automatically finds and uses the `.slnx` file
- ✅ `dotnet build` works without specifying a solution file
- ✅ `dotnet test` runs successfully (54/55 tests pass - one pre-existing
network connectivity test failure)
- ✅ Dockerfile updated to explicitly reference `.slnx` for Docker builds
