[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1649580] [NEW] Update Monodevelop to 6.1

[John Moser]

Public bug reported:

Target:  Zesty

Current Monodevelop in Ubuntu and Debian Sid is 5.10.  Monodevelop 6.1
adds support for Nuget 3, which is required to use the modern
project.json, which in turn is required for the DNX-based .NET Docker
containers to run .NET applications.

In short, Monodevelop 6.1 or higher is required for seamless development
of .NET applications packageable in Docker containers, and thus provides
an advantage to Web applications development targeting Linux as a server
platform.

Thus I am requesting an upgrade to Monodevelop 6.1 in Zesty.  It is left
to the discretion of the Ubuntu maintainers if Monodevelop 6.1 (and an
appropriate .NET environment) should land in xenial-backports as well.

There will be a related bug filed to upgrade Monodevelop to latest 6.1
stable in Sid.  6.2 supports Nuget 3.5, and has not yet been marked
Stable by the Monodevelop project.
