sdk: Publishing standalone app with a dot '.' in name on linux generates executable in an unexpected way

Steps to reproduce

On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, install the latest version of CLI (I had 5825)
mkdir sample.webapi
cd sample.webapi
dotnet new webapi
Open the .csproj file and add a runtime identifier for linux-x64 <RuntimeIdentifiers>linux-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers> and save the file
Open the NuGet.config file and remove the dotnet-core feed as aspnetcore-dev would suffice here
dotnet restore
dotnet publish -r linux-x64

Expected behavior

The published output should have an executable with name sample.webapi

Actual behavior

An executable with name sample.webapi.webapi

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

@peterhuene any chance to get a fix into 2.2? It’s a bit sad that dotnet run doesn’t work when a RuntimeIdentifier is specified in the project file and there is a dot in the project name…

@fbarletta as a workaround, could you add this to the project and test if it works?:

  <Target Name="FixRidSpecificHost" AfterTargets="_ComputeNETCoreBuildOutputFiles">
    <ItemGroup>
      <None Remove="@(NativeAppHostNETCore)" />
      <None Include="@(NativeAppHostNETCore)" Link="$(AssemblyName)" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" CopyToPublishDirectory="Never"/>
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

Found it. The culprit is https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/8c5d7a7c5bfd3b3eba5cb5bde4339dda470bd39a/src/Tasks/Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks/build/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets#L291

The host is copied into the obj folder with the right name for embedding the dll name and then included as copy local item with the pseudo extension added again

@livarcocc this is current block us adopt net core 2.0, i noticed you tag the milestone to 2.1.0, do you have idea about what the target date for 2.1.0?

I think I am seeing the same issue on Mac OS too.
