ServiceConfiguration transformation

ServiceConfiguration transformation:

This will help us to build the package immediately. You just need to add different configuration files, and give different values.

Add following sections in cloud solution ccproj
1)
<ItemGroup>
<ServiceConfiguration Include="ServiceConfiguration.production.cscfg" />
<ServiceDefinition Include="ServiceDefinition.csdef" />
<ServiceConfiguration Include="ServiceConfiguration.Dev.cscfg" />
<ServiceConfiguration Include="ServiceConfiguration.Int.cscfg" />
<ServiceConfiguration Include="ServiceConfiguration.Staging.cscfg" />
<ServiceConfiguration Include="ServiceConfiguration.Local.cscfg" />
<ServiceConfiguration Include="ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg" />
</ItemGroup>

2)

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Dev' ">
<OutputPath>bin\Dev\</OutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Int' ">
<OutputPath>bin\Int\</OutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Staging' ">
<OutputPath>bin\Staging\</OutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Production' ">
<OutputPath>bin\Production\</OutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>

3)
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets" />
