Remove xUnit support document of GenerateTestingPlatformEntryPoint

[filzrev]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

Setting the GenerateTestingPlatformEntryPoint property to false disables the automatic generation of the program entry point in an MSTest, NUnit, or xUnit test project.

There is MSTest, NUnit, or xUnit test project. statement.
But GenerateTestingPlatformEntryPoint property is not supported by xUnit. And it's not works as described.

It is not be expected to be supported in the future.
So the reference to xUnit should be deleted from GenerateTestingPlatformEntryPoint property document .

See : xunit/xunit#3106

To be clear, what @filzrev is referring to is xUnit.net v3, where all test projects are already stand-alone executables with entry points that we inject during build. As a result, we turn off GenerateTestingPlatformEntryPoint automatically in our NuGet package: https://github.com/xunit/xunit/blob/9853a4b92a41b0129c30a70cd040ea5213a016c6/src/xunit.v3.core/Package/build/xunit.v3.core.props#L9-L10

This mirrors behavior that we use to turn off entry point generation by VSTest: https://github.com/xunit/xunit/blob/9853a4b92a41b0129c30a70cd040ea5213a016c6/src/xunit.v3.core/Package/build/xunit.v3.core.props#L5-L6

---

xUnit.net versions prior to v3 do not support Microsoft.Testing.Platform at this time. There is an issue opened by @MarcoRossignoli to add support, with an implementation to be provided by the VSTest team: xunit/visualstudio.xunit#416

At this point in time, I have no insight as to whether this is being actively worked on and/or what the delivery date might be.
