godot: Mono: Exported projects don't include runtime assemblies from nuget packages for its platform

Godot version: 3.0.6, 3.1 Alpha Snapshot and Master

OS/device including version: Windows 10

Issue description: When you use a nuget package it’ll properly add the initial nuget package dll’s, but on export it doesn’t include the runtime dll’s (if they exist) in the assemblies folder.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new project that creates runtime libraries like sqlite
Export project
Notice that your app is asking about a missing dl

Minimal reproduction project:

Here’s my current project, it includes the packages folder to save time. You’ll notice inside the packages/sqlite core folder there’s a runtimes folder with dll’s for each individual platform under linux-x64 osx-x64 win-x64 win-x32. Inside includes the corresponding dll’s

Notes

A workaround would be to manually check each package library and move the runtimes for each platform over to it’s appropriate folder.
Nuget packages with platform specific runtime libs have no problem running inside the editor.

Yes, this will be supported in 4.0.

Fixing this will require some work. In the meantime, I think the only workaround is to copy the native libraries manually after exporting the game to a location where the game can find it (next to the exe for example, or in data_*/Mono/lib/).

Just found that this issue exists, as I was running into the same problem: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/61313

@neikeq I hope this is on the roadmap for 4.0? It’s a pretty big showstopper problem for anyone that tries to use Godot with C# and external packages. Unfortunately, your proposed workaround of copying the native library files manually does not seem to work for macOS exports.
