Obsolete WebHost and introduce an Analyzer to help migrate from it

[mkArtakMSFT]

Summary

GenericHost is the preferred way of hosting apps and the WebHost is now legacy.
Obsoleting it would be a huge breaking change and to help customers to migrate from it we will need to also provide an analyzer.

This issue tracks the analyzer part of that effort.

Motivation and goals

Since GenericHost superseded WebHost in 3.0 we've stopped addressing issues in WebHost to minimize the maintenance burden, fixes only go into generic host. Long term we'll need to migrate people away from WebHost so we don't have to keep supporting two models.

Thanks for contacting us.
We're moving this issue to the Next sprint planning milestone for future evaluation / consideration. We will evaluate the request when we are planning the work for the next milestone.

Would definitely be good to have an analyzer that helps guide the required changes that need to be made. Thanks!

• Obsolete in preview2 and work on an analyzer during the rest of 6.0.
• Document/fixing gaps between the two hosting models.

We aren't adding any new features to WebHost. Our templates have been using GenericHost since 3.0.
