Bugzilla cross-reference update

Bug 56213, Comment 24 describes a workaround:

1. On Windows, open the Visual Studio 2017 installation folder. (Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\)
2. Navigate to MSBuild\Xamarin.
3. Open the Xamarin.Apple.Sdk.targets file in an editor with Administrator privileges.

4. At the end of the file you'll find a <PropertyGroup> (line 100). Between the <PropertyGroup> tags add the following line:

   <FrameworkPathOverride>$(TargetFrameworkRootPath)$(TargetFrameworkIdentifier)\$(TargetFrameworkVersion)</FrameworkPathOverride>

I added the line immediately above the </PropertyGroup> (as line 102) and it worked. Thank you Brendan Zagaeski!
